The present invention to solve the above problems is the first envelope fiber layer; A vegetation base layer laminated on top of the first envelope fiber layer and containing nutrients required for plant growth, and having water absorbing means therein; A plant seed layer stacked on top of the vegetation base layer and including a sheet to which seeds are attached; And a seed-attachable plant cultivation block comprising a second sheath fiber layer stacked on top of the plant seed layer.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1.

The first and second sheath fiber layers 1 surround the vegetation base layer 3 to ensure moldability of the product, preferably inducing rooting to the vegetation base layer 3 upon seed germination and after seed germination. Is intended to support the roots of young plants and to enhance permeability, breathability, and adhesion. Any material may be used as long as it meets these requirements and is not particularly limited.

Preferred examples of the fiber layer that satisfies the above conditions are that the coconut fiber extracted from the natural coconut fruit has a mat-like fiber layer as a vegetable long fiber having excellent tensile strength. In addition, coconut fiber is a natural fiber has the advantage that does not cause any obstacle to plant growth.

The vegetation base layer 3 is made of a material which is capable of providing a continuous source of nutrition for the applied plant, promotes the growth of the plant, and furthermore, is made of a material that is not inconvenienced by overweight generated during transportation and use due to the light weight of the material. desirable.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vegetation base layer 3 is a structure in which a coconut chip 5, coco peat 4, peat moss 6, an inorganic trace element additive 7 and a natural starch powder 8 are mixed and laminated. It includes.

Although not particularly limited, the content of coconut chips required for growth of applied plants is 30 to 40% by weight, the amount of cocoot is preferably 30 to 60% by weight, the preferred content of peat moss is 5 to 25% by weight, The preferred content of the natural starch powder is 1 to 5% by weight, and the preferred content of the inorganic trace element additive is 1 to 3% by weight.

Coconut chip (5) is a natural material, the particles are large, moisturizing, and excellent preservation power to help plant growth, and serves to reduce the weight of the product.

Coco pits (4) and peat moss (6) have characteristics that are very high such that the moisture retention is close to 9 to 15 times, which enhances moisturizing and preserving power, and also serves as a natural fertilizer to provide nutrients to plants by being biodegradable. Do this.

Since the materials are typically provided in powder form, it is difficult to be molded into a block when pressed. To this end, natural starch powder (8) is added to increase the binding force between the particles by a small amount of water generated from the material itself during compression molding.

The inorganic trace element additive 7 is added to continuously supply the nutrients commonly required for plant growth during plant growth. As an example of the composition of the inorganic trace element additive, 1,990 g of KNO _3, 1,650 g of NH ₄ NO ₃ , 440 g of CaCl ₂ , 2H ₂ O, 440 g of MgSO ₄ , 7H ₂ O, per 1000 L of the mixed material forming the vegetation base layer 3 370g, KH ₄ PO ₄ 170g, FeSO ₄ 7H ₂ O 27.8g, MnSO ₄ 4H ₂ O 22.3g, ZnSO ₄ 7H ₂ O 8.6g, H ₃ BO ₃ 6.2g, NaMoO ₄ 2H ₂ O 0.25g , KI 0.83g, CoCl ₂ · 6H ₂ O 0.025g, CuSO ₄ · 5H ₂ O 0.025g was added, according to this can be obtained an excellent effect when introducing vegetation by sowing.

It should be noted that the type and content of the inorganic trace elements are those that can be suitably selected by those skilled in the art according to the type of plant to be applied, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified components.

Inside the vegetation base layer 3 is inserted a water absorbing means that serves as a water tank so that water can be continuously supplied to the vegetation base layer. An embodiment of the water absorbing means is a wick (9, 10) formed by pressing the nonwoven fabric in the form of a tube.

The plant seed layer 2 for the introduction of plants, preferably vegetables, is stacked on top of the vegetation base layer 3 and is formed by attaching seeds at a predetermined interval to the seed attachment sheet. The seed attachment sheet is preferably a material which can be decomposed when supplied with water, for example, natural pulp paper. Seeds are attached to the sheet via a seed adhesive, and the seed adhesive is preferably selected from natural plant materials (e.g. starch, etc.) so as not to interfere with the growth of the plant.

As an embodiment of the plant seed layer 2, three seed grains are attached to the natural pulp paper having a width of 40 cm x 20 cm at intervals of 5 cm.

The material is placed on a separate mold to combine and form a material composed of the above-described sheath fiber layer (1), seed adhesion layer (2), vegetation base layer (3), and moisture absorbing wicks (9,10). In turn, the plant cultivation block capable of growing vegetables and herbaceous plants having a thickness of 4 cm can be obtained by inserting them into 12 cm thick and pressing the molding process by compression press. This process is as shown in FIG.
