BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of irrigating a planting area on a road and a curb with a irrigation function used for implementing the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in areas where trees, flowers, etc. are mainly planted in sidewalks and green belts of roadways (hereinafter referred to as "planting areas"), watering work is performed with a water sprinkler. Is being done. However, in the summer, the surface of the planted area is completely dry, so even if water is applied from the surface, 70-80% of the water will flow out to the outside,
At present, water does not reach the trees in the important planting area, and the significance of the irrigation work was poor.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is intended to obtain a curb having a irrigation function capable of sufficiently irrigating trees and the like in a planting area such as a road and a method of irrigating the planting area using the curb. .

[0004]

As a method of irrigating a planting area on a road or the like according to the present invention, as described in claim 1, the inside of a curb adjacent to the planting area on the road or the like is formed as a waterway. It is characterized by irrigating the planting area from a water-permeable part formed on the side of the curb facing the planting area so as to communicate with the canal.

In the method of irrigating a planting area according to the above-mentioned claim 1, water is gradually irrigated from a curb canal adjacent to the planting area through a water-permeable portion facing the planting area. Therefore, even in the summer, water will be sufficiently spread over trees. Especially for trees in the planted area, water is required for the roots from the upper part to the lower part, so the watering effect spreads to the roots of the trees through the soil in the planted area.

In particular, in the above irrigation method, since the irrigation is gradually carried out in the permeable part of the curb, the water from the waterway of the curb flows from the inside of the planting area to trees etc. through the permeable part. Watering is gradually performed, and watering work becomes more suitable. Further, as the curb with a watering function used in the above-described watering method of the present invention, as described in claim 2, a space is formed in a single or plural units of block-shaped curbs having a predetermined length,
This space is formed as a waterway, and the curb is characterized by being provided with a water supply port leading to the waterway and a water-permeable portion communicating with the waterway on the side facing the planting area.

According to the curb with an irrigation function according to the second aspect, the curb is used by being installed so as to be adjacent to the planting area, and water is collected from the water supply port to the waterway which becomes the space of the curb. The irrigation will be gradually applied to the planting area from the water-permeable part provided on the side facing the planting area. In particular, in the case of a block-shaped curb, if the space of the curb formed as a water channel is provided with a pipe as described in claim 3, the water channel can be formed more easily and the water channel has a long life.

When the water permeable part is made of water permeable concrete or hard sponge,
Permeability can be gradually exerted, and watering to the trees can be favorably spread by gradually irrigating the planted area.
