[ (312). The material of the water transfer part main body 311 and the moisture transfer absorbing part 312 is a nonwoven fabric.

The nonwoven fabric is made of felt in the form of a felt, which is arranged in a parallel or negative direction without being subjected to a woven process, and is bonded with a synthetic resin adhesive. Cotton viscose rayon was first used as a raw material fiber. However, since mid-1950, Fiber was also used. The nonwoven fabric has very different properties depending on the method of producing the web, the method of bonding, the kind of the adhesive, and the like. Accordingly, it is difficult to describe the properties and characteristics of the nonwoven fabric. However, typical properties include filtration properties, warmth, moldability, water absorbency, insulation, and dielectric properties.

More specifically, the nonwoven fabric used in the water transmission portion main body 311 and the water transfer absorbing portion 312 may be a needle punching needle. The fibers may be physically combined with a web using special needles. . Needle punching can be used to diversify the thickness of the product by the number of punching of needles and the density of needles, and is mainly used for carpets, blankets, filters, coating foams and wicks.

In general, among the substances required for plant growth, carbon is absorbed in the form of carbon dioxide in the air, hydrogen and oxygen are absorbed in the form of water through the roots, and other elements are absorbed from the soil into the form of the inorganic salts In the case of crops, they are harvested each year, so the nutrients in the soil are insufficient and must be supplied artificially. Carbon dioxide accounts for about 0.03% of the air and is constantly reproduced, so it is generally sufficient to supply the carbon needed by the plant. However, while there are such easily obtainable elements, the actual soil is likely to lack supply of potassium, which is nitrogen, and must be supplied to the soil in a proper form. Most of the nutrients needed for plants, including nitrogen, are supplied from the soil, which contains the nutrients and water needed by the plant and has the ability to supply them according to the plant's demand. This ability is called soil fertility. Soil fertility is a measure of how much inorganic nutrients available to plants are contained in the soil. In order to maintain soil fertility, it is very important to supply organic matter properly. For this reason, fertilizer or soil should be replaced when cultivating soil, but the work is troublesome and inconvenient.

In order to solve this problem, a germanium patch 320 in the form of a thin plate is attached to the upper part of the water transfer part main body 311. The germanium patch 320 includes a nano-sized germanium powder and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, and then mixed with water-soluble nutritional powder to form a solid form.

In the case of the germanium patch 320 formed in the form of a solid, the water 600 supplied through the water transfer absorbing part 312 is transferred to the germanium patch 320 The germanium patch 320 melted by the water 600 is buried in the soil 500. The germanium promotes plant growth, and the water-soluble nutrient supply powder serves to provide nutrients to the soil 500. In the case of the germanium patch 320, as the time elapses, the germanium patch 320 becomes smaller, and if the germanium patch 320 is further attached after a certain period of time, nutrients can be continuously supplied to the soil 500.
