Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention is a method for manufacturing fertilizer cylinders or fertilizer piles, which are made by filling fertilizer into a hollow cylinder having countless or many gaps or pores for moisture penetration, or a fertilizer pile in the form of a rope or the like. By inserting the capillary material for moisture penetration into each hollow cylinder and interconnecting them,
The present invention relates to a fertilizer supplying tool that is intended to evenly distribute fertilizer over a wide range of vegetation cultivation soil.

Conventional technology Fertilizer tubes or fertilizer piles are made by forming a cylinder made of cardboard made of many layers of kraft paper or plastic with pores, and filling the inside with fertilizer. It is widely used as a convenient fertilizer application tool for fertilizing vegetation such as edging slopes and standing trees by driving it into the roots of trees.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: However, although these fertilizer tubes have a convenient long-term fertilizing effect by gradually supplying appropriate amounts of fertilizer into the surrounding soil, the problem is that the fertilizer tubes are not properly placed. Only local soil tends to receive strong fertilizing action, and it is not possible to fertilize the soil equally in all areas within a specified area that requires fertilization. It was inevitable that this would occur. The present invention relates to a simple fertilizer applicator that utilizes such fertilizer tubes or fertilizer piles and can fertilize a required area of soil very evenly.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a hollow cylindrical body 1 made of ceramic, cardboard, plastic, wood, etc., which has or has numerous or numerous gaps or pores for water penetration.
A fertilizer cylinder or a fertilizer pile is prepared by filling a suitable fertilizer 2 into the hollow cylinder 1, and by inserting a rope-shaped, band-shaped or string-shaped capillary material 3 for moisture penetration into each hollow cylinder 1. This is a connected fertilizer cylinder in which fertilizer cylinders or fertilizer piles are connected to each other by the capillary material 3 for moisture infiltration.

Function: When such connected fertilizer cylinders are installed or buried in soil that requires fertilization, or are properly secured with anchor bolts, etc., the fertilizer in each fertilizer cylinder or fertilizer pile absorbs water. It dissolves into water and gradually begins to flow into the soil through numerous or numerous gaps or pores in the hollow cylinder, and at the same time, it also begins to permeate into the capillary material, and through the capillary material, it enters the fertilizer cylinder. Fertilizer will also begin to be supplied into the soil in areas where fertilizer piles have not been buried. Furthermore, because multiple fertilizer tubes are connected to each other by capillary material, each fertilizer tube works in a mutually complementary manner, so that if fertilizer flows out from a particular fertilizer tube, etc., it becomes stagnant. Even if the soil gets wet, other fertilizer cylinders will be able to replenish the fertilizer via the connected capillary tube material, making it possible to apply fertilizer very evenly to a certain area of soil, and as a result, only the vegetation in specific areas can be fertilized. This is extremely useful in preventing problems such as slow growth due to lack of fertilizer, or uneven growth of vegetation due to landscaping.

Embodiment 1 The thing shown in FIG. 1 is a hollow cylindrical body 1 made of a ceramic outer cylinder 4 having numerous microscopic water permeable holes in the wall and a water-retentive interior material 5 made of paper or cloth loaded therein. A fertilizer pile is created by filling the fertilizer 2, and a rope-like or string-like capillary material 3 for moisture infiltration made of rope-like natural fibers, chemical or synthetic fibers, or glass fibers is inserted into the hollow cylindrical body 1. The fertilizer piles are inserted deeply into the hollow cylinder through the notch holes 6 provided on the side edges of the upper end of the shape, and the capillary material 3 sequentially connects each fertilizer pile in an annular manner to form a connected fertilizer cylinder according to the present invention. be.

When such a connected fertilizer cylinder is used to fertilize the plants 10 planted in 9 pots as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 2, the soil in the pot 9 receives fertilizer from each fertilizer pile and capillary material. This results in a situation where there is almost no soil in the area that does not receive fertilizer. Of course, it can be used not only for potted plants but also for the roots of planted trees in a similar manner.

The reason why the water-retentive interior material 5 made of paper or cloth is loaded into the ceramic outer cylinder is to compensate for the fact that the interior material 5 has poor water-retention properties compared to paper or wood. When there is little moisture in the surrounding area, the moisture from the interior material compensates for the leaching of fertilizer, and when there is a lot of moisture in the surrounding area, it absorbs moisture and prevents too much leaching of fertilizer. Become. Ceramic itself is resistant to rot and is not easily destroyed, so it can be filled with new fertilizer and used over and over again, making it an economical material for fertilizer tubes. In addition, the pores and gaps for water permeation that should be provided in the wall can be changed and adjusted as appropriate by changing the materials and manufacturing conditions during manufacturing, so they can be adjusted appropriately according to changes in soil and vegetation. This provides the advantage of being able to create a fertilizer cylinder that has good water permeability, that is, the ability for fertilizer to flow out. Additionally, if the microscopic pores of the ceramic itself are insufficient for water permeability, pores with a diameter that is visible to the naked eye may be added at the bottom of the wall or other appropriate locations. Of course.
Furthermore, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, it is also possible to cover the open upper end of the fertilizer pile with a cap 7 made of ceramic or other material.

Example 2 In the example shown in FIG. 3, a water-retaining inner material is placed in a short tubular outer cylinder made of ceramic, and plugs 8 are fitted to both ends of the outer cylinder, as in the previous example. A large number of fertilizer cylinders prepared by filling the hollow cylinder 1 with fertilizer are filled with a rope-shaped capillary tube material 3 for moisture penetration similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, while making it penetrate through the inside of the fertilizer cylinder. This is a connected fertilizer cylinder made by inserting capillary tube materials 3 deeply into the cylinder from both ends of the cylinder and connecting them to each other. FIG. 4 shows the connected fertilizer tube, which is made in a ring shape, and is being used for fertilizing the planted trees 11 growing on the ground 12.

Embodiment 3 In the example shown in FIG. 5, the specification in which the fertilizer cylinders in Example 2 are interconnected by the rope-shaped capillary tube material 3 for moisture penetration is changed to a structure in which each fertilizer cylinder is simply two adjacent fertilizer cylinders as described above. Instead of connecting each fertilizer tube to a large number of other fertilizer tubes, each fertilizer tube is connected to a large number of other fertilizer tubes, using a planar mesh structure, using a large number of capillary tubes 3 inserted into or penetrating each fertilizer tube. This is a connected fertilizer cylinder. This product is convenient for fertilizing large areas evenly.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the foregoing, the present invention has the following remarkable effects.

B Since the connected fertilizer tube of the present invention allows fertilizer to flow out not only from the fertilizer tube or fertilizer pile but also from the connecting capillary material, it becomes easier to apply fertilizer evenly to a certain area of soil without any leakage, and it is possible to prevent uneven fertilizer application. It helps the growth of vegetation that is not present.

(b) Even if the rate of fertilizer outflow from a fertilizer tube or fertilizer pile in a specific location is poor, fertilizer can be automatically replenished from other fertilizer tubes or fertilizer piles to that location via capillary material. This makes it easier to apply the fertilizer evenly as described above.

C. The structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low, and it is easy to store, transport, use, etc., and is easy to handle.
