Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is applicable to the cultivation and cultivation of vegetables, flowers, bonsai, etc.
A soil conditioner that is used by mixing a predetermined amount into growing soil; more specifically, it improves soil aeration, water permeability, air retention, water retention, and fertilizer retention, and at the same time promotes the growth of capillary roots in plants. Concerning suitable natural fibrous soil conditioners.

Conventional technology> Conventionally, when growing vegetables, flowers, bonsai, etc., peat moss, composted rice husks, etc. have been commonly used as natural fibrous soil conditioners that enhance the fertilization, water retention, and aeration of the growing soil. Met. On the other hand, inorganic soil conditioners such as vermiculite and perlite are also known.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, these natural fiber soil conditioners decompose quickly, making it difficult to maintain their air, water, and fertilizer retention properties for a long time when they are mixed in. Perennial plants such as bonsai need to be replanted again and again, and even seasonal plants with relatively short days such as vegetables and flowers can be troublesome, such as needing to be supplemented with each crop or during the growing process. There was a sense of pride.

Particularly in recent years, making pots and planters has become popular in ordinary households, and they are relatively lightweight and easy to use.
There is a demand for soil that does not require repeated soil improvement, but the above-mentioned conventional products cannot be said to be suitable for such demands.

On the other hand, inert soil conditioners such as vermiculite and perlite have the drawback that they cannot compensate for the lack of trace elements necessary for plant growth by applying only the three fertilizer elements.

Therefore, the present invention aims to propose a soil conditioner having characteristics that combine the advantages and α of these natural fibers and non-substitute materials.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In other words, the present invention aims to reduce the amount of coconut oil that is removed from coconut oil, which is partially used as a decorative material, but most of which is discarded. Focusing on the fibrous quality and properties of the so-called coconut grains, this product was developed with the aim of using it as a soil conditioner. Cut pieces obtained by crushing and cutting into irregular shapes (
4)... is sorted and packaged by size into large, medium, small, coarse powder, etc.

<Operation> The soil conditioner prepared in this way is used by mixing it into the soil for growing plants, but the large particles are mainly used by putting them in the bottom of the pot. You can also use it as a substitute for moss by placing it on the surface of potting soil.

<Example> Examples will be described below based on the drawings.

The coconut grain (1) with the outer skin (2) and hard inner shell (3) still attached is fed into a crusher cutter (not shown), where the entire coconut grain (1) is crushed and cut. Form pieces (4)... and divide them into large, medium, small, and large pieces.
The powder, etc. is sorted and sorted by size using a sieve (not shown), and each of these sorts is placed in a packaging bag (^) and packaged.

Another example is the cut piece (4) cut as described above.
..., placed in a designated pot, added water, heated, or further added mycelium to cause fiF, and then sorted by size and packaged in packaging bags (^). good.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, the present invention focuses on coconut palms, which were generally discarded, and utilizes the water-retaining and fertilizing properties of the fibrous pulp of the coconut shell over a relatively long period. It takes advantage of the aeration and water permeability achieved by maintaining shape retention, as well as the fertilizing properties that gradually decompose, and also the moisture content and early decomposition properties of the epidermis (2) and the long-term decomposition of the hard inner shell (3). Because it effectively utilizes shape retention, it can simultaneously solve the drawbacks of conventional natural wL navy blue, such as fertilizer runoff due to early rotting, and the drawbacks of non-fertilization, which inorganic materials have. It has good ventilation and water permeability for a long period of time, and can maintain air retention, water retention, and fertilizer retention properties, and can gradually supply the trace elements necessary for M'lkl as it decomposes itself. This made it possible to obtain a soil conditioner. Moreover, the coarse cut pieces can be placed in the bottom of the pot and used as a soil substitute to prevent root rot, and the required amount of cut pieces of any size can be used depending on the condition of the soil to be mixed and the properties of the plants to be grown. It can be used by selectively mixing it with soil. Furthermore, since coconut shells have chemical properties that neutralize acidic soil when decomposed, they can also prevent soil from becoming acidic over a long period of time.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional perspective view of a coconut shell, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cut piece, and FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of a packed bag. In the figure, (1) shows the coconut shell, (2) the epidermis, (3) the hard inner shell, (4) the cut piece, and (^) the packaging bag.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A cut piece (4) is obtained by crushing and cutting the whole coconut shell (1) into an irregular shape with its outer skin (2) and hard inner shell (3) attached.
