Description

The invention relates to a device for growing vegetables on an organic medium (hereinafter abbreviated as "organic vegetables") and, in particular, to a device for growing organic vegetables, which ensures the normal cultivation of vegetables by only supplying them with sufficient water without the need for sowing, loosening the soil, destroying weeds, destruction of pests, soil fertilizer, etc.

The usual methods of growing vegetables in most cases work according to a scheme that includes loosening the soil, sowing, destroying weeds, destroying animal pests, fertilizing the soil, destroying insects, harvesting, etc. Along with the ongoing tedious actions, such as regular watering, weed control, etc., and, in connection with this, various checks should be made on vegetables for their suitability for human consumption. However, from the point of view of the current state of the environment and the protection of health, the use of insecticides is extremely undesirable, and therefore, organo-vegetables declared to be healthy, environmentally friendly, free of toxic substances and residual chemicals, have become the most promising and popular vegetables of the 21st century. In addition, with the general tendency to use organic-grown vegetables grown by hand, small family farming is spreading more and more. Although such small family farming can effectively prevent infection with pesticides, when growing vegetables, it is still necessary to perform tedious actions, such as loosening the soil, destroying pests, fertilizing the soil, etc. In particular, with regard to fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer can directly affect the growth of plants, which leads to a problem that needs to be addressed urgently, that is, how to allow a beginner who is completely unfamiliar with agronomy to effectively perform work on the destruction of weeds and pests and determine the time soil fertilizers and fertilizer dosage for normal plant growth. In addition, for the above reasons, the cultivation of plants cannot be effectively regulated, which affects the date of harvest and, therefore, leads to irregular harvesting and hence the inability to obtain fresh vegetables at any time. In addition, with conventional sowing and fertilizing, seeds and fertilizers are grabbed and scattered on the ground with your hands, which not only always gets your hands dirty during each operation, but also leads to an uneven distribution of seeds and fertilizers in the soil, which can easily lead to uneven plant growth. In addition, traditional methods of growing vegetables are carried out mainly on agricultural land and require large areas, and therefore the land becomes intended exclusively for cultivation, while in some regions or countries there is no fertile land that can be allocated for growing plants and vegetables from - due to the barren land and, consequently, agricultural development in such areas is limited.

The objective of the invention is to provide a device for growing vegetables on an organic medium, which eliminates the above disadvantages.

The problem is solved due to the fact that the device for growing vegetables on an organic medium contains a layer of organic medium, a paper membrane for seeds of vegetables located on its surface, consisting of a lower paper membrane having one or more seeds of vegetables located on it at an equal distance, and an upper paper membrane that binds and covers the lower paper membrane with a bond between them; a membrane located on the paper membrane for vegetable seeds for fixing the position with holes corresponding to the seeds of vegetables located on the paper membrane and connecting parts located on both sides thereof; a protective membrane located above the membrane to fix the position is insect-proof, which is a screen with many small holes, and its two sides are made with the possibility of folding to obtain folded parts.

Moreover, an organic fertilizer can be placed on the paper membrane for vegetable seeds as an adhesive, connecting the upper and lower paper membranes with each other and holding the vegetable seeds in the desired position to eliminate the subsequent fertilizer operation.

In addition, several varieties of seeds can be placed on a paper membrane for vegetable seeds.

It is also possible to create a space between the position fixation membrane and the insect-proof protective membrane to facilitate air circulation and water passage.

In the claimed device for growing vegetables on an organic medium, a paper membrane for vegetable seeds covers a layer of organic medium that contains the nutrients necessary for the growth of vegetable seeds. With adequate moisture, the paper membrane for vegetable seeds will burst, and thus the vegetable seeds on it can spontaneously fall into the layer of the organic medium, which can supply them with the nutrients necessary for the growth of vegetables, and therefore vegetables can normally grow when you supply them only with enough water.

The position fixation membrane located on the paper membrane for vegetable seeds promotes the growth of the vegetable and directs it, and also creates the effect of preventing the growth of weeds surrounding the vegetable. The two edges of such a membrane for position fixation are glued to the corresponding lower surfaces of the two edges of the insect-proof protective membrane. Membrane for position fixation and insect-proof protective membrane are used together. The insect-proof membrane has many small ventilation openings for the passage of air and water necessary for the growth of vegetables.

With the growth of a vegetable, seeds germinate from a layer of organic medium and are directed and fixed by a membrane to fix the position. Then, since the insect-proof protective membrane is a thin and soft membrane, vegetables can grow upward, resting against the membrane, without suppressing their growth.

In addition, the components of such an organo-vegetable growing apparatus according to the present invention, namely, a layer of organic medium, a paper membrane for vegetable seeds, a membrane for position fixation and insect-proof protective membrane, are made by rolling in the form of a tape and stored in a roll form and therefore , can be cut into pieces of the required size and can be used in areas available for growing vegetables.

The organic layer used in the apparatus for growing organic vegetables according to the present invention solves the problem with the land necessary for growing vegetables, and can be used in accordance with the place available to the farmer, the area of the vegetable growing area, etc. An insect-proof membrane and a position fixation membrane can be used to prevent damage to growing organo vegetables by insects and to prevent weed growth, which is the most important issue when growing organo vegetables. The folded parts of the insect-proof membrane can provide the space necessary for the growth of organic vegetables, and the organic vegetables can grow up, abutting against the insect-tight protective membrane, and their growth will not be suppressed.

Alternatively, the organic medium layer may be omitted, that is, the device for growing organic vegetables may consist of a paper membrane for vegetable seeds, a membrane for fixing the position and an insect-proof protective membrane layer and can be placed directly on the surface of the earth for growing organic vegetables without the need for sowing, loosening the soil, destroying weeds, destroying pests, fertilizers, etc.

Although the features and advantages of the invention have been described above, the most important thing in using the apparatus for growing organic vegetables according to the invention is that it is progressive with respect to eliminating the operation of fertilizing the soil through the use of nutrients from the organic layer. In addition, a layer of organic medium can be prepared from garbage and waste, which makes it possible to reuse waste and which is appropriate from the point of view of environmental protection and its economic characteristics. In addition, when growing vegetables using the device of the invention, no herbicides or insecticides are required to kill weeds and insects, and the soil, water and environment will not be contaminated, and an accurate cycle can be obtained. In addition, the apparatus for growing organic vegetables according to the invention can reduce the cost of growing, simplify the process of agricultural production and reduces the amount of labor required on the farm, as well as prevents the risk of poisoning the farmer and the farmer, and, in addition, people can benefit from vegetables, no residual pesticides.

Figure 1-3 shows a disassembled and assembled, partially enlarged, respectively, schematic views of a device for growing organic vegetables according to the invention. The device according to the invention contains components such as a layer 10 of an organic medium, a paper membrane 20 for seeds of vegetables, a membrane 30 for fixing the position, and an impervious to insects protective membrane 40.

In the device, the layer 10 of the organic medium contains the proper amount of organic soil or organic medium for nutrition and is also the basis for growing organic vegetables; the paper membrane 20 for seeds of vegetables consists of a lower paper membrane for arranging seeds of 25 organic vegetables at an equal distance from each other with suitable intervals and distances necessary for their growth, and an upper membrane that covers the lower paper membrane, being connected to it; and the membrane 30 for fixing the position and the insect-tight protective membrane 40 are used with the connection between them, and the holes 33 corresponding to the seeds 25 located on the paper membrane 20 for seeds of vegetables are made in the membrane 30 for fixing the position to maintain and direct the growth of the vegetable, while the part without holes 33 inhibits the growth of weeds, and the connecting parts 36 are made on the edges of the two sides of the membrane 30 to fix the position for gluing to the corresponding edges of the insect-proof protective membranes 40, while in the insect-proof protective membrane 40 there are small ventilation openings 43 for accessing air and water necessary for the growth of vegetables, but also not letting insects pass, and the folded portions 46 are located on two sides of the insect-tight protective membrane to form spaces necessary for the growth of organic vegetables when grown so that they can grow up, abutting against insect-proof protective membrane 40 without restricting their growth.

The paper membrane 20 for seeds of vegetables covers the layer 10 of the organic medium, which provides the nutrients necessary for the growth of seeds of vegetables. With adequate wetting, the paper membrane 20 for the seeds of vegetables will burst, and thus, the seeds of vegetables can spontaneously fall into the layer 10 of the organic medium, which can provide the nutrition necessary for the growth of vegetables, and, therefore, vegetables can grow normally when supplied only suitable amount of water.

A position fixation membrane 30 located on the paper seed membrane 20 for vegetable seeds can promote the growth of vegetables and guide them. The connecting parts 36, located on the two edges of such a membrane 30 for position fixation, are glued to the respective lower surfaces of the two edges of the insect-proof protective membrane 40. The membrane 30 for position fixation and the insect-proof protective membrane 40 are used together. The insect-proof protective membrane 40 has many small ventilation openings 43 to allow air and water to be allowed for the growth of vegetables. With the growth of vegetables, seeds 25 germinate from the layer 10 of the organic medium and are directed and fixed by the membrane 30 to fix the position. Then, since the insect-proof protective membrane 40 is a thin soft membrane, vegetables can grow upward, abutting against the membrane during growth, without suppressing it.

In an alternative embodiment, the organic medium layer may be omitted from the organic vegetable growing device according to the invention, i.e. the organic vegetable growing device may consist of a vegetable seed membrane 20, a membrane 30 for position fixation and an insect-proof protective membrane layer 40 (see figure 4). These three components can be respectively made by rolling in the form of a tape and can be in the form of a roll and then placed directly on the soil surface, one on top of the other, for growing organic vegetables without the need for sowing, loosening the soil, destroying weeds, destroying pests, fertilizing the soil, etc. .P.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, either two or three, or all the components of the apparatus for growing organic vegetables according to the present invention, namely, the organic medium layer 10, a paper membrane 20 for vegetable seeds, a membrane 30 for fixing the position and the insect-proof protective membrane 40 can be made by rolling in the form of a tape and can be in the form of a roll, and therefore, they can be cut into pieces of a suitable size and used in accordance with the available space for growing.

The organic layer 10 used in the apparatus for growing organic vegetables according to the present invention can solve the problem with the land necessary for growing vegetables, and can be used in accordance with a suitable space, the area of the growing area, etc., as needed by the farmer. Insect-proof protective membrane 40 can be used to prevent insect damage to growing organo vegetables, which is the most important issue when growing organo vegetables. The folded portions 46 of the insect-proof protective membrane 40 can provide the space necessary for the growth of organo vegetables so that the organo vegetables can grow up against the insect-proof protective membrane 40 and will not be suppressed.

In addition, the thin openings 43 located on the insect-proof protective membrane 40 according to the invention have the functions of ventilation, protection against insects and prevent washing out by heavy rain and, therefore, can create a good environment and conditions for the vegetable to grow. The insect-proof protective membrane 40 can be folded, which favors its use by the user or storage when not in use.
