Elevated Planting Containers

technical field

The present invention relates to an elevated planting container for planting fruit vegetables, leaf vegetables, flowers, root vegetables and other crops at a position higher than the surface of the land.

Background technique

Fruit vegetables, leaf vegetables, flowers, and root vegetables are usually grown using the so-called land tillage method, which is a method of planting seedlings in ridges formed on the surface of the cultivated land and letting them grow. With land cultivation and planting method, in a series of field operations from cultivating seedlings to harvesting, there are many tasks that need to be carried out in a posture of bending over and squinting, especially when planting strawberries and other crops, because of heavy labor such as carrying seedlings when transplanting, Therefore, the physical exertion of the laborers is very large.

In order to improve this poor working condition, people have developed planting containers that allow laborers to stand and operate, and new cultivation techniques have been studied. In recent years, the so-called elevated planting method has been adopted.

The applicant has also developed a planting container for planting strawberries, etc., which is a planting container that can make the roots grow well with only a small amount of soil, which has been published in the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 34437/1994 public. In addition, a device for placing the planting container and auxiliary tools suitable for watering and fertilizing have been developed, which have been disclosed in the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 16495/1994 communiqué. Through the combination of the planting container and the device, the working conditions can be improved.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing that the planting container equipped with the auxiliary tool is placed on the erecting device. As shown in Figure 6, the erection device 80 is composed of a frame 81 and a pillar 82. The lower cylindrical planting container 91 and auxiliary tools 92 for watering and fertilizing are placed on the erection device 80, so that it can stand and operate. Therefore, the planting work efficiency is improved and the working conditions are improved.

In addition, as a method of placing planting containers higher than the ground, the applicant has developed a method of connecting several container bodies with connecting parts, and then erecting the connected planting containers on a shelf. It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 298870/1996.

7 is a perspective view showing an example of the planting device described in the aforementioned publication. The planting container 95 is composed of container body groups 97a, 97b. The upper parts of the container main body groups 97a and 97b are connected by a connecting member 98 for the ten container main bodies.

Adopt this planting device, just can stand operation, as long as carry out erecting operation and just can erect many existing planting containers on the frame 99, therefore can improve the efficiency of planting container erection work.

When using the existing elevated planting containers, regardless of whether the planting containers are single containers or continuous containers, the work of filling the containers with cultivation soil must be performed container by container, so in the case of large-scale planting using many planting containers, The erection operation or the soil filling operation takes a lot of time and labor.

Furthermore, since such planting containers are used in a sagging state in the erecting device, the erecting device must have a very strong structure, and the proportion of the erecting device is large compared to the part actually used for planting. Therefore, it is very troublesome to transport the device, and a lot of space is required for installation, and it is difficult to adopt it if the planting place is narrow.

After the planting season is over, not only will it take a lot of time and labor to pour out the soil in the planting containers, dismantle the erection devices, etc., but also require a lot of space to store these planting containers or erection devices.

In addition, the existing elevated planting containers are large in size, complex in structure, time-consuming and cumbersome to manufacture, and require a large amount of raw materials such as synthetic resins, and the cost is very high.
