Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a plant cultivation mat that can easily cultivate plants under favorable growth conditions without requiring labor and time to adjust the growth conditions of the plants. [Structure] The mat M is formed from a nonwoven fabric composed of silk fibers and hemp fibers having a weight ratio of half or less. A seed layer L1 containing seeds is formed on the mat M, and grass seeds S are included in the seed layer at a predetermined interval with respect to the spreading plane of the mat M. Further, a seed-free layer L2 is formed on one surface of the seed layer L1.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mat for plant cultivation.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when cultivating plants such as vegetables in fields, etc., seeds of plants to be cultivated are put in holes opened at appropriate predetermined intervals or individual seeds are cultivated in the fields so that individual vegetables are in good growth conditions. In anticipation of loss, they are sowing seeds in the fields.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the seeds of weeds are contained in the ground, and the weeds grow faster than the seeds of the plants to be cultivated, and thus the seeds of the cultivated plants are inhibited from growing. Therefore, the surrounding weeds had to be removed many times in order to maintain good growth conditions for the plants to be cultivated, which required a great deal of labor and time.

Further, it requires a great deal of labor and time to sow seeds at predetermined intervals. Furthermore, when seeds were sown in bulk, a certain amount of the seeds sown in bulk was thinned and wasted.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the purpose thereof is to easily grow a plant under good growth conditions without requiring labor and time to adjust the growth conditions of the plant. It is to provide a mat for plant cultivation that can be done.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a gist of forming a non-woven fabric made of natural fibers in a mat shape and containing plant seeds at a predetermined interval with respect to the mat spreading plane.

Further, it is preferable that the main component of the natural fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric is silk fibers. Further, it is advisable to dispose a seed-free nonwoven fabric layer on at least one of the layers containing seeds at a predetermined interval.

[0008]

[Action]

 Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the mat for plant cultivation is placed on the soil, the seeds of weeds on the ground below the mat are inhibited from growing, and the weeds grow to grow the plants. Does not interfere with. Furthermore, the seeds are arranged at appropriate intervals so that they do not interfere with each other's growth. Furthermore, since the non-woven fabric is a natural fiber, it gradually rots and does not harm the growth of plants, and can be left as it is.

Further, according to the invention of claim 2, since the ignition temperature of the silk which constitutes the majority of the mat is high, the plant cultivation mat is difficult to burn, and the tobacco thrown away in a fired state is on the mat. Even if it falls into, it will not spread.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the seed-free non-woven fabric layer having a certain thickness is provided on the seed-containing layer, the seeds are not required to be laid on the mat for plant cultivation. The growth conditions of are obtained. In addition, the non-woven fabric layer made of natural fibers provides the nutrients and sunshine necessary for plant growth, and can prevent damage from rain and damage to birds and insects, thus maintaining good growth conditions. can do.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, a mat M formed of a non-woven cloth composed of silk fibers mixed with hemp fibers having a weight ratio of half or less has a thickness of, for example, 10 mm. As shown in FIG. 2, this mat M has a seed layer L1 in which grass seeds S on the lower side (in FIG. 2) are included at predetermined intervals with respect to the spreading plane of the mat M. The seed layer M1 and the layer L2 that does not include the seed S are disposed on the seed layer M1.

The operation of the plant cultivation mat thus configured will be described. Put the lawn on the ground where you want to grow. Then, water is appropriately sprayed on the mat M. After that, sprinkle water appropriately and disinfect if necessary.

In the mat M, the grass seeds are given water, temperature, nutrition and the like necessary for growth through silk and hemp fibers, so that the seeds S germinate in good condition. The buds of the seed S grow without being disturbed by the surrounding natural fibers. The seed root grows without being hindered by the growth of fibers around the seed to form a root in the ground and absorbs water and nutrients from the ground.

Further, since the mat M itself rots naturally, there is no need to dispose of it later, and the growth of plants is not damaged. In addition, even if a large amount of rain falls, the seeds will not be washed away by the rain.

Further, since the mat M inhibits the growth of weeds under the mat M, it is possible to prevent the weeds from damaging the growth of plants. Further, since the mat M is formed mainly of silk and the ignition temperature of the silk is high, the mat M will not be ignited by a cigarette fire or the like when it is used around a street tree.

Furthermore, the seeds S are covered with the non-woven fabric layer and the growing condition is obtained without applying soil on the mat M, so that the seeds grow. Therefore, the labor for applying soil is reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be configured as follows, for example, within a range not departing from the spirit of the invention. (1) In the above-mentioned embodiment, the layer L1 not containing the seed S is arranged on the seed layer L1 in which the seeds S are arranged. However, as shown in FIG. M may be configured. Further, the seed S may be included so as to be exposed to the outside of the mat M.

(2) You may form the layer L2 which does not contain the seed S on both surfaces of the seed layer L1. (3) The thickness of the mat M and the thickness of the seed layer L1 may be arbitrarily set depending on the plant to be cultivated, the land (paddy field, field, etc.), and the like.

(4) The seed layer L1 containing the seed S and the layer L1 not containing the seed S are not composed of a non-woven fabric formed of natural fibers having the same proportion, but formed of non-woven fabrics made of different proportions of natural fiber. You may.

(5) The type and the composition ratio of the natural fibers forming the non-woven fabric forming the mat M may be arbitrary. For example, when hemp is mainly formed, since the hemp is relatively low in price, the mat M can be provided at a low price.

(6) The seeds of plants may be seeds of other plants such as vegetables and foliage plants. (7) A plurality of seeds S may be arranged at one location. (8) There may be a plurality of types of seed S.

(9) The mat M may be processed into any shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when it is used for an opening for a roadside tree formed on a paved road, for example, by preparing a mat M1 processed according to the opening, it is possible to easily construct it around the roadside tree. Then, suitable plants can be cultivated.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, according to the invention of claim 1, it is possible to easily cultivate a plant under favorable growth conditions without requiring labor and time to adjust the growth conditions of the plant. Produce an effect. In addition, weeds can be prevented from growing under the mat to eliminate weed damage.

Further, in the device according to the second aspect, even if a lit cigarette or the like falls, it does not spread. Further, in the device according to the third aspect, good growth conditions can be obtained without applying soil on the mat.
