Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: high seedbed comprises the trough with the ground, the arcs for fixing coating of transparent plastic, for example polyethylene. The trough is made dismountable from a solid plastic material such as polypropylene or glass fiber, and comprises two end and intermediate modules. The modules are interconnected with the locks. The trough assembled from modules is placed on supports having the ability of changing the height.

EFFECT: reduced labour intensity of building the seedbed, increased convenience of its use.

Description

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to devices for the cultivation of flowers, vegetables and rice in pots, crates, greenhouses or greenhouses on a personal plot and can be used to grow crops of vegetables, edible herbs, ornamental plants and conditions in the middle and northern latitudes.

Beds for growing vegetables and edible herbs are known, which are used everywhere in Russia and abroad.

High beds sharply improve the warming of the soil in which the root system of plants is located. Whereas in ordinary beds, for example, at the end of April, the residual cold of frozen ground is still in full effect, then on high soils for almost a month it is almost blown by warm spring air. This allows you to start the garden season 2-3 weeks earlier than at the level of ordinary soil.

High beds - a rather rare structure in summer cottages. Since it requires certain labor and material costs, and many summer residents do not risk building high beds, not being sure that they will pay for themselves.

Harvest from high beds exceeds the harvest from the usual 2-3 times due to the high "turnover" of the land and a significant increase in the intensity of plant growth. The opportunity to get radishes in April, lettuce 3 weeks earlier, green onions almost immediately after snow is an incentive to build at least one high bed.

For the construction of a high bed, boards made of durable wood (for example, larch or fir), screws, fine-mesh metal mesh, strong plastic film, and also filling materials - cut and shredded wood branches, turf, half-ripe compost, etc. are used.

On the territory allotted for the garden bed, a pit 30-40 cm deep is dug and a prepared box is installed in it, the walls of which are lined with film. Arcs are mounted on the box wall, on which a transparent plastic film is placed.

A fine-mesh net is laid at the bottom (it will protect the bed from pests), and then layers of prepared material for filling chopped branches and wood waste, newspapers and cardboard, sawdust and wood shavings, fresh garden waste (the remains of green plants), ripe autumn leaves taken from compost heap. Half-ripened compost and garden soil mixed with ready-made compost are laid on top.

Every year, a high bed is updated, removing the top layer and replacing it with a mixture of garden soil with compost. (J. "Garden Garden Flower Garden" No. 3/23 of March 1, 2010).

The disadvantages of the known high beds are low productivity, great dependence on weather conditions, considerable laboriousness during the construction of the beds, difficulties with seasonal movement of the beds.

The purpose of the invention is to increase productivity, improve the usability of the structure, ensure the quality of its design, reduce the complexity of the construction of the device.

The goal is achieved in that the high bed contains a trough with soil, arcs for attaching the coating of transparent plastic, for example polyethylene, moreover, the trough is made of collapsible solid plastic material, for example polypropylene or fiberglass, and contains two end modules and intermediate modules ; the modules are interconnected by locks; the trough assembled from the modules is placed on supports having the ability to change the height; high bed, contains a plastic thermocouple placed in the ground and connected through a temperature regulator to a temperature sensor and to a power source; a high bed contains a perforated pipe suspended on arches for fixing the coating; the pipe is connected to a water tank; at the inlet of the pipe there is a valve connected to soil moisture regulators associated with a soil moisture sensor.

Figure 1 presents a General view of the device.

A high bed contains a trough (1) with soil, arcs (2) for fixing the coating of transparent plastic, for example polyethylene, moreover, the trough (1) is collapsible from a hard plastic material, for example polypropylene or fiberglass, and contains two end module (3) and intermediate modules (4); the modules are interconnected by locks (5); the trough assembled from the modules is placed on supports (6) having the ability to change the height; high bed, contains a plastic thermocouple (7), placed in the ground and connected through a temperature controller (8) with a temperature sensor (9) to a power source (10); a high bed contains a perforated pipe (11) suspended on arcs (2) for fixing the coating; the perforated coarse (11) through a hose (12) is connected to a pump (13) placed in a water tank (14); the pump (13) is connected to the relay, (15) which in turn is connected to the soil moisture regulator (16), connected to the soil moisture sensor (17).

The operation of the device.

First of all, you need to choose a place for a high bed. It should be a well-lit place, especially in the morning. Desirable from the very sunrise. It should also be protected from the wind, not stand in a draft. All this will contribute to the speedy warming of the beds in the spring. And, therefore, to the earliest possible harvest. The orientation of the beds, usually from east to west, is possible with a slight deviation.

Collect the trough (1) from two end modules (3) and intermediate modules (4), connecting them together with locks (5); the trough (1) assembled from the modules is placed on supports (6) having the ability to change the height; choosing a height suitable for tillage; fill the trough (1) with soil, placing a plastic thermocouple (7) in the soil and connected through a temperature regulator (8) to a temperature sensor (9) with a power source (10). Arches (2) are attached to the trough (1), to them is a perforated pipe (11), through a hose (12) connected to a pump (13), placed in a water tank (14). A soil moisture sensor (17) is placed in the soil, connected to a soil moisture regulator (16), which in turn is connected to a relay (15). They cultivate the soil, plant the plants, close the bed. The soil temperature sensor (9) at a low soil temperature sends a signal to the temperature controller (8), which ensures the inclusion of a thermocouple in the electric circuit (7). When the soil reaches the set temperature, further heating of the tape stops. At low soil moisture, the signal from the soil moisture sensor (17) enters the soil moisture regulator (16), which through the relay (15) turns on the pump (13) located in the water tank (14); from it, water through a hose (12) enters the perforated pipe (11). Watering of the soil occurs, its saturation with water to a predetermined value.
