Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a nursery bed, and in particular, it has a large holding power of fertilizer for a long time and can be buried together with the nursery bed in the post-treatment, and it can be easily treated without special post-treatment. About the nursery that can do.

[Prior art]

In general, a nursery is a place for raising seedlings by selecting a place that can be easily protected and managed to make a certain section for raising seedlings. Raising seedlings is an important factor for vegetable cultivation in Japan and is said to be a half crop of seedlings. There are four types of nursery beds: a hot bed, a cold bed, an open bed, and a kneading bed.
In these nurseries, in addition to selecting the location, the nursery soil,
There are many things to be careful of such as the structure of the nursery. Along with the increasing demand for ornamental plants to be placed and watched in office buildings, it has become unsuitable to grow ornamental plants using conventional nurseries. In recent years, from the viewpoint of protection and management for proper seedling production, it has become popular to use a vinyl case as a container, fill this container with sponge as culture soil, add fertilizer to this sponge, and grow seedlings on this sponge. Has been done in.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the conventional sponge type nursery, since the nursery bed is made of a synthetic resin sponge, it does not decay even if it is buried in the soil. For this reason, after transplanting seedlings, when transplanting the plant to a garden or the like, the plant must be taken out from the seedbed, and the seedbed separated from the plant must be separately post-treated before being discarded. Moreover, this sponge is a synthetic resin, and if it is incinerated together with combustible dust in a dust incinerator, it will cause air pollution. In this way, in the nursery bed using the conventional synthetic resin,
After the raising of seedlings, the seedbed cannot be buried in the soil, and there is a problem that special posttreatment for seedbed treatment must be performed. The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the conventional technology, and an object of the present invention is to retain fertilizer for a long period of time and to keep soil together with the nursery in post-treatment. The aim is to provide a nursery that can be buried in and can be easily treated without the need for special post-treatment.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the nursery bed of the present invention is constructed by drying the pulp of loofah into a fibrous form and applying fertilizer thereto. Then, it is preferable that the flesh of loofah is dried into a fibrous state and the side surface thereof is coated with a water blocking agent.

[Action]

Since the flesh of loofah is dried into fibrous form and fertilizer is applied to form a nursery bed, the fertilizer has a large holding power for a long time, and the flesh of loofah is dried into soil. As it decays inside and becomes soil, it can be buried together with the nursery in the post-treatment. Therefore, even if the nursery is left in the soil, no pollution problem occurs, no special post-treatment of the nursery is required, and anyone can easily treat the nursery. Further, since the flesh of loofah is dried into a fibrous state and the side surface thereof is coated with a water-blocking agent, it is possible to retain moisture containing fertilizer for a long time.

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 shows an example of a nursery bed according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a nursery bed, which forms a fixed section for growing seedlings. This is the so-called raising of seedlings, where seeds are planted on the upper surface of this nursery to raise seedlings. No. 2 is a loofah skin obtained by drying the flesh of the loofah to extract the fiber. The loofah skin is obtained by soaking the harvested loofah fruit in water to ferment it to separate the fiber from the pulp, hanging it on a rod and drying it on the day. Loofah skin is
So-called loofah fibers. In general, loofah skin is better when the fibers are dense, flexible and elastic. Regarding the quality of loofah fiber, the second generation is the best. Gourd is an annual vine of the Cucurbitaceae native to tropical Asia. The fruits are long, cylindrical berries, usually 30-60 cm in size. Depending on the shape, there are two types: Daruma and long thread gourd. The length of Daruma is 50 cm inside and outside, and the long thread gourd is about 1 m long. The surface of the fruit is dark green and dull, with wrinkles and warts and many seeds inside. The fruit fibers have been conventionally used for washing, ladies' hat cores, shoe soles, sandals, and the like. Since the loofah skin 2 is composed of a large number of fibers in a mesh-like manner, when placed on water, moisture gradually enters between the fibers of the loofah due to a capillary phenomenon.
It can contain sufficient water. Although not shown, the loofah skin 2 is obtained by soaking the loofah in a fertilizer solution suitable for the kind of plant to be raised, then pulling it out of the fertilizer solution and drying it. Is fully impregnated with fertilizer. 3 is a water-blocking agent coated on the side surface of loofah skin 2. The water-blocking agent 3 is for preventing the water that has entered between the eyes of the loofah fibers from evaporating from the side surface of the loofah skin 2. This nursery bed 1 is fully fertilized and hydrates the dried loofah skin 2 to convert it into a wet nursery bed, on which the plants are cultivated. Moisture that enters between the fibers of loofah fibers will not serve as a nursery if it dries. So, from loofah skin 2, especially,
A water blocking agent 3 is provided on the side surface of the loofah skin 2 in order to prevent evaporation from the side surface. As the water-blocking agent 3, specifically, one of paraffin, gelatin, and starch is suitable. All of these have water-impervious properties, and by coating one of paraffin, gelatin, and starch on the side surface of the loofah skin 2, it is possible to prevent evaporation of water given to the loofah skin 2. it can. In this embodiment, paraffin, gelatin, and starch are given as specific examples of the water-blocking agent 3, but the water-blocking agent 3 is not necessarily limited to these and may be another one as long as it has water-blocking properties. However, chemical substances that cause pollution when buried in the soil are not suitable. In addition, although not shown, on the lower surface side of the loofah skin 2,
It is placed in a container such as a flower pot, and water etc. is put in this container, and water is constantly supplied. When the plant is raised, even if it is buried in the soil together with the plant, the loofah skin 2 of the nursery is a plant, and when decayed, it returns to the soil, so separate the plant from the nursery. Without
It can be planted as it is in the soil together with the nursery, and no special post-treatment is required.

[Effect of device]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. In the nursery bed of claim 1, since the flesh of loofah is dried into a fibrous state and fertilizer is applied to the pulp to form the nursery bed,
The fertilizer has a large holding power for a long time, and in the post-treatment, the nursery can be buried together with the nursery in the soil, and can be easily treated without requiring any special post-treatment. In the nursery bed of claim 2, since the flesh of loofah is dried into fibers and the side surface is coated with a water-blocking agent to form a nursery bed, it is possible to retain moisture containing fertilizer for a long time. it can.
