The invention relates to earth and hydro cults usable plant pots

State of the art

Until now, beds, plant boxes or individual pots have been used to grow plants, and beds and boxes have been used when moving Requires little work at the beginning, but laborious transplantation with high losses due to damage the result of the tender suction roots, planting in pots is time-consuming and requires a lot of skill to break to avoid. In addition, there is a very considerable amount of storage in fragile clay pots.

A few years ago the proposal was made to circumvent this deficiency by means of a plastic planting plate, which has a large number of wells to accommodate soil in which the young plants are then placed.

Undoubtedly this proposal had brought considerable progress over the previous method, but it was with many Flawed.

1., The flat plate is difficult to transport when filled, because it bends very easily. Occasional transportation is urgently needed.

2. It is by no means the case that the bale is easy in every case can be excavated because the walls of the plastic are kept smooth and conical, as the inventor thinks * Rather play Soil quality, plant species, root system and, last but not least, the nature of the foil wall, etc. play an important role. Many plants press their roots so tightly against the wall of the pot,

that the relatively thin plastic application is deformed in such a way that bulges and even undercuts arise, so that you can no longer lift the bale out without destroying the plastic pot »But there is another important factor Factor that although plastics are often quite resistant to many acids and alkalis, practice has showed that fertilizers contain chemicals that attack the plastics commonly used for this purpose, swell and dissolve · When the action of chemicals subsides, the soil adjacent to the plastic film then has a more or less considerable connection (adhesion) is assumed, especially if the application is made during deep drawing of the film has not turned out completely smooth. For this reason it is almost square to overturn the single pot and push it gently to loosen the yt root ball to remove it undamaged from the To be able to take in more depth · This possibility - and necessity - but the well-known construction is missing. For this reason, a foreign company has plant pots (Individual pots in the form of the well-known clay pots) made of pressed peat waste with cellulose binding put on the market, in which the pot in the ground disappears after a short time due to the action of moisture, but the roots due to the dissolving Wall can penetrate and are therefore not hindered in growth. The disadvantage of these pots is that the dissolution starts very quickly and the advantage of the individual pots becomes illusory.

3 · As the experience of plant cultivation teaches, it is of great importance to cover the entire root ball with the surrounding soil move so as not to disturb the growth of the plants. Around Not having to intervene at all in the growth for a long time, the well-known plant plate offers no possibility. As soon the plants have made a certain amount of progress, they have to be taken from the known planting tray in order to grow them "forgive", i.e. to move to a larger gap in order to grant it the necessary light while the earth is still is sufficient.

4. Although the inventor states that his planting plate also, for the Hydroponics, which are increasingly coming to the fore, are suitable5 but the planting plate only fits on a specially manufactured one Basin · But which horticultural company has the possibility to manufacture such a basin? In addition, if only intermittently are needed? And where should the horticultural company leave the large number of such nutrient salt basins? Again, the idea is on stopped halfway »

3 » Another disadvantage of the well-known planting plate is that the plant can only be given to foreign customers in a pot if the plate is cut up, that is, destroyed. But that can never be the point of such an institution "

The practical significance as a technical advance is therefore quite meager.

To remedy the listed deficiencies and something fundamentally To create something new, the following solution is proposed:

A plastic plate (1) is very stable, but nonetheless deformed light carrier, in that a stiffened by strong deformation frame (11) is formed on the outer hand, which each Makes bending impossible. This frame has side recesses (15) which serve as carrying handles. Furthermore, the Carrier plate (1) has deepened holes in other places in order to fill the nutrient salt tub underneath without the carrier plate (1) to take off. The part of the plate (12) lying within the frame is perforated as often as you want to use individual pots (2). In order to further increase the load-bearing capacity of the carrier plate, the edges of the holes (13) are raised. This also has the effect that the individual pots (2) used with their edge (21) on the raised hole edges (I3) protrude a little on all sides, so that you can easily remove the individual pots (2). The pots (2) are another novelty in every respect:

They are pressed from animal hair bound with latex, cellulose or another binding agent, which is mixed with coconut fibers. The walls are thin and completely air and water permeable, but still very tear-resistant, but flexible.

-if -

This construction results in the following advantages: 1 · Each pot is a piece of its own.

2, It can be filled either by machine (in association with all of the secondary pots) or individually, in which it is used in the usual way Way, serves as a ladle. It adapts to the size, equipment and habits of the horticultural business.

3 · The warping is first of all very simple by placing strong plants with your pot at any point on the plate can be removed in order to use them on a second plate "gapping" without having to remove the bale from the pot. This will give the plants the necessary spacing and spacing for both the first and second (or third) plates the appropriate light.

k. Since the material is extremely porous, sufficient air can reach the roots, which is of great importance. The roots can penetrate well through the walls, either into the surrounding soil, or into the tub (3) filled with calcium chloride solution.

The strong plants (with the small pot) simply planted in a larger pot or in the field, whereby the pot material urea an excellent Represents fertilizer for the plants. The pot is made from a special form of fertilizer.

3 » An associated saline solution tub (3) made of plastic is supplied to the carrier plate (1) and the individual pots (2)

a) fits the carrier plate,

b) supplied as an inexpensive prefabricated part vriLrd,

c) can be used as required,

d) made of plastic, it is highly impact-resistant, corrosion-resistant, acid-resistant and light,

e) how all parts can be nested into one another due to their shape (conicity) that a large number of them do not takes up considerable stacking space.

Claims (1)

PA288 893-15.60 6. Since the pots represent standardized individual elements, they can can easily be given to the customer without the entire plate becoming worthless. The consumer has stacked standardized pots in stock. The customer, however, is happy about the preservation of the root ball, the easy transport, the "free and odorless" fertilizer and unbreakable plant pot. 7. Compared to the known pots made of cellulose, the 'hair pot' has the great advantage that it is even more permeable, unbreakable, can be hung in portable "small beds" (carrier plates) and is a first-class fertilizer. 8. When using hydroponics, the "hair pot" is ideal Planting pot, as the roots can penetrate in all directions into the nutrient solution and the plant in the first pot can remain if it is later placed in individual pots with a nutrient solution. Protection claims Three-part planting unit for growing plants, thereby marked that 1. the carrier plate (1) is formed by a surrounding frame (11) and a multi-perforated mounting plate, 2. the perforations (12) of the carrier plate (1) by bending up the sanders (13) are stiffened to make it easier to remove the pots (2), 3. The plant pots (2) are single pots that are folded over with their top sand (21) must be securely hooked into the perforations (12) of the carrier plate (1), 4. the individual pots made of plant fertilizer (animal hair with latex, Cellulose or another binding agent) with the addition of coconut fibers, 5 the plant pots (2) partially in a nutrient salt tub (3) can be immersed in order to avoid both frequent watering and with the same device the to operate well-known hydroponics, 6. The carrier plate (1) has openings in several places has through which the water tub (3) can be refilled without taking up the carrier plate (1), 7 · the surrounding frame (11) of the carrier plate (1) on the Has longitudinal recesses (15) that act as carrying handles to serve.
