Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the easy practice of operation such as harvesting without requiring the stopping in performing the operation, reduce the fouling, further dispense with soil and enable the clean cultivation of a plant. CONSTITUTION:The apparatus is constructed by engaging both sides of the upper end in the longitudinal direction of a cultivation trough 1, made of a synthetic resin and having a nearly U-shaped cross-sectional shape with mutually parallel supporting pipes 6, floated from the ground surface and attached to supports 5, stuffing rock wool 14 for setting plants in the interior of the cultivation trough 1 and simultaneously embedding irrigating tubes 15 and 16 in the rock wool 14 so as to discharge water from hole parts for discharging water formed in the irrigating tubes 15 and 16 into the interior of the rock wool 14. Since the cultivation trough 1 is installed by floating from the ground surface, operation such as harvesting can easily be carried out without requiring the stooping in performing the operation and the fouling can be reduced to carry out the clean cultivation of a plant.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for cultivating plants such as strawberries in a room such as a greenhouse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in greenhouse cultivation, plants such as strawberries are generally planted directly on the ground soil.

Thus, when performing work such as harvesting from a plant directly planted on the soil on the ground, the work is performed while bending the waist, which is a problem of heavy labor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and does not need to bend over when performing work such as harvesting, and can be performed easily, and further, soil is not required. The purpose is to reduce stains and enable clean plant cultivation.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, the present invention is to support both ends of the upper end along the length direction of a cultivation gutter made of a synthetic resin and having a substantially U-shaped cross section from the ground to support a pillar. Are engaged with mutually parallel support pipes attached to each other, and the rock wool for planting is packed inside the cultivation trough and the irrigation tube is embedded in this rock wool, and the water discharge formed in this irrigation tube The water is discharged from the hole into the rock wool.

[0006]

With this structure, since the cultivation gutter is supported by the support pipes and floated from the ground, it is not necessary to bend over when performing work such as harvesting, and it can be performed easily.
In addition, soil can be eliminated, and soil can be reduced to enable clean plant cultivation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 6, reference numeral 1 is a cultivation gutter made of synthetic resin and having a substantially U-shaped cross-section, and a drainage groove 2 is projecting downward along the length direction at the bottom, and a slit 3 above the drainage groove 2 is provided. The inside of the cultivation gutter 1 and the drainage groove 2 are communicated with each other via the. Reference numeral 4 is an engaging portion formed on both sides of an upper end along the length direction of the cultivation trough 1, which is bent downward in a curved state and engages with support pipes 6 which are parallel to each other and which are supported by columns 5 from above. It is like this. 7 is a synthetic resin joint member for connecting the cultivation gutters 1 and 1 to each other.
The recesses 7a, 7a into which the ends of the partitions are fitted are provided on both sides of the partition 7b. It should be noted that there is no partition part in the fitting member 7 into which the drainage groove 2 is fitted,
The lower surface of the engaging portion 4 at the end of the cultivation trough 1 is exposed from the joint member 7. Reference numeral 8 is a synthetic resin stop member attached to both ends in the length direction of the continuous cultivation gutters 1, 1, ... Connected by the joint member 7, and the continuous cultivation gutters 1, 1, A portion 9a having a concave portion 9 into which the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the ... is fitted and into which the drainage groove 2 of the cultivation trough 1 is fitted.
Communicates with a drain port 11 via a water reservoir 10. 12 is a drainage pipe connected to the drainage port 11, 13 is a cultivation gutter 1, 1 ...
A root preventive sheet made of a non-woven fabric laid on the inner bottom of the cultivation trough 1, 1, ...
13 is not provided in the drainage groove 2. 14 is rock wool packed in the cultivation gutters 1, 1, ... In the continuous state from above the root control sheet 13, and 15 is the widthwise central portion of the cultivation gutters 1, 1, ... In the continuous state. An irrigation tube buried in the vicinity of the upper end of the rock wool 14, 16 is an irrigation tube buried in the rock wool 14 slightly below this irrigation tube 15, and the lower surface of each irrigation tube 15, 16 has a longitudinal direction. Water discharge holes (not shown) are formed at appropriate intervals along the irrigation tube 15 and the normal temperature of the water is supplied from the water supply pipe 17 connected to the end of the irrigation tube 15 from the hole of the irrigation tube 15. Water is discharged into the rock wool 14,
Hot water containing fertilizer supplied from a water supply pipe 18 connected to the end of the irrigation tube 16 is discharged into the rock wool 14 from the hole of the irrigation tube 16. The drainage pipe 12, the water supply pipe 17, and the water supply pipe 18 are provided at one end of the cultivation gutters 1, 1, ...
At the other end in the length direction of the cultivation gutters 1, 1, ...
The drainage port 11 connected to the water reservoir 10 of the
The ends of the watering tubes 15 and 16 are also closed. Reference numeral 19 denotes a ridge formed on the inner surface of the cultivation gutter 1, 1, ... Along the length direction, and is provided with a plurality of steps as shown in FIGS. The inner surfaces of 1, 1, ... Are not in close contact with each other. 20 is the cultivation gutter 1, 1,
It is a strawberry grown by absorbing water from the rock wool 14 packed inside.

In the above structure, the rock wool 14 of the cultivation trough 1 is mixed with room temperature water discharged from the hole portion of the irrigation tube 15 and hot water containing fertilizer discharged from the hole portion of the irrigation tube 16, and the water content is The strawberries 20 planted on the rock wool 14 are supplied by the capillary action of the rock wool 14. The water that has settled in the lower part of the rock wool 14 falls into the drainage groove 2 through the slit 3 and is discharged from the drainage pipe 12 at the end of the drainage groove 2. Depending on the season and the growing condition of strawberry 20, warm water containing fertilizer does not necessarily have to be given, and only normal temperature water may be given. Strawberry 20
When it grows and can be taken in, the cultivation gutter 1 is supported by the support pipes 6 and floated from the ground. Can be done.

By the way, it goes without saying that the plant to be planted in the cultivation gutter 1 is not limited to the strawberry 20 as described above, and may be another plant. Further, although the cultivation gutter 1 is provided in one stage in the embodiment shown in the drawings, a plurality of stages of the cultivation gutter 1 are provided by attaching the support pipes 6 to the support columns 5 in the vertical direction.
May be provided.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cultivation gutter is provided so as to be supported by the support pipe and floated from the ground, it is not necessary to bend over when performing operations such as harvesting. It is easy to perform, and it does not require soil, so it can be used for clean plant cultivation with less dirt.
