Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems that a medium for plant growth is excellently drained, improvement in air circulation is considered to be necessary in order to help root respiration, however, since a well-drained medium can not retain a large amount of water, it is quickly dried, therefore the burden of frequent watering occurs. <P>SOLUTION: A container (1) can hold water is equipped with a bored separator (2), a space in the container is divided into tow parts, the upper part is supplied with culture soil and a plant is planted on it. A net-like flat plate electrode (3) and a flat plate electrode (4) are arranged parallel in the lower part space, a DC or AC power source (5) is connected to the electrodes, water is fed until it reaches the under surface of the separator (2), water stored in the lower part is electrolyzed by an electric current flowing between the electrodes (3) and (4) to generate oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen is dissolved in water to help root respiration. The culture soil of upper part is continually supplied with water from the lower part of the separator by a capillary phenomenon. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a method for cultivating a plant using culture soil.

  The culture medium for growing plants has been well drained, and it has been said that it is necessary to improve the air circulation in order to help root respiration.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  A well-drained medium cannot quickly retain a large amount of water, so it dries quickly, and is therefore troublesome to frequently water.

Means to solve the problem

A separator (2) having a hole is attached to a container (1) in which water is stored, and the space of the container is divided into two, and planted with planted soil in the upper part.
In the lower space, a flat plate electrode (3) and a flat plate electrode (4) are attached in parallel, a DC or AC power source (5) is connected, and water is introduced to the lower surface of the separator (2).

  The water stored in the lower part is electrolyzed by the current flowing between the electrodes (3) and (4), and oxygen and hydrogen are generated. This oxygen dissolves in the water and helps the roots To do.

The upper culture soil is always supplied with water from the lower part of the separator by capillarity, so there is no worry about drying out.
In addition, the gas generated by making one of the electrodes in a mesh shape is uniformly diffused in water, so that oxygen is more efficiently dissolved in water.

The invention's effect

Since the present invention can store a large amount of water in the lower part of the container, it can be released from the trouble of frequently watering.
This method of producing oxygen using water as a raw material can be applied to fish tanks and farms where fish are kept, and can be released from the troublesome maintenance of air pumps and the like.

It is sectional drawing of this invention.

Claims (1)

A separator (2) having a hole is attached to a container (1) in which water is stored, and the space of the container is divided into two parts, and culture soil (6) is placed in the upper part.
A mesh-like plate electrode (3) and a plate electrode (4) are mounted in parallel in the lower space with an interval of several centimeters. Connect the DC or AC power source (5) to (3) and (4) and keep the water level (7) on the underside of the separator (2). "Plant electrolytic cultivation method" configured as described above
