SI9600317A2 - Seed mulch made of environmentally friendly natural material - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention refers to the seed mulch made of environmentally friendly natural material. It is preferentially made of needle mixture of coconut fibres, hay and/or straw and jute and strengthened with a textile and intended for a simple sowing of selected plant species. It creates a favourable microclimate for the germination and growth of plants. The seed mulch described in this invention covers the surface of the soil and represents a good basis for the plant growth and later on the mulch itself is decomposed into the humus. The soil mulch described in this invention is composed of the layer (2) that is made of the mixture of 30 % to 100 % of coconut fibres, 0 % to 60 % of hay or straw or their mixture and 0 % to 60 % of jute fibres, 0 % to 30 % of other natural plant fibres with a possible addition of the biomass and a cover placed on one or two sides (1) that is a textile or a net made of jute or coconut and a layer (2) and a cover (1) that is needled on one or two sides, where the textile or net cover is scattered with seeds and spattered with latex, celluloid glue or another suitable binder.

Description

The object of the invention is a seed drape made of environmentally friendly natural material, as an earth cover, preferably made of a needle mixture of coconut fibers, straw, hay and jute and reinforced with a fabric, intended for the arrangement of flower surfaces in gardens, on greens and on all other surfaces where sowing or planting ornamental plants or selected flowers is required. It is also used for sowing specially selected plant species, which are sown individually or in groups in gardens. The seed curtain according to the invention contains seeds of flowers or other selected plant species and is used to cover the soil surface where the seed is waxed and to form a plantation plant. The seed curtain can also be covered with a thin layer of soil. The seed curtain also provides a good design for the growth of sown plants, protects plants at an early stage of growth and can also be used for stabilization and anti-erosion protection.

The known solutions to the problem of mowing and sowing of the selected plants so far are unknown, except when using peotierosing materials where grass seeds are used for planting greenery.

The known known solution is primarily used for anti-erosion protection of banks and is used exclusively for landscaping and not for sowing other selected plant species.

With known solutions, the selected plant species are sown directly into the soil.

The object and object of the invention is to make an environmentally friendly and practical seed drawer that will allow easy sowing of selected plant species, and according to the invention will also create a favorable microclimate for seed germination and plant growth. This will ensure faster seed germination and later stronger plant growth. It will strongly absorb and retain water and prevent the soil from drying out. It will also protect the plants from high and low temperatures, thereby conveniently extending the period suitable for sowing and gardening.

According to the invention, the task is solved with an eco-friendly earth cladding as defined in the designation part of claim 1.

The invention will be described on the basis of embodiments and an illustration showing:

FIG. 1 Cutout of the earth lining by projection example in projection.

-2 The land cover according to the embodiment consists of a needle layer of 2 hay or straw and coconut and morning fibers. Layer 2 contains 200 to 800 grams of material per m2, up to 2 cm thick. The raw material composition is 30% to 100% of coconut fibers, 0% to 60% of hay or straw or their mixture, 0% to 60% of morning fibers and 0% to 30% of other natural vegetable or animal fibers. On one usually added top is cover 1. Coat 1 can be a fabric or net of jute or cotton. Any type of fabric and netting intended for technical use may be used. In the embodiment, the following materials were used: 70 gr or heavier jute textile, jute net. It is also possible to use heavier mixtures of fibers and other types of protective textiles and nets made of natural and degradable material.

The seed curtain with layer 2 and coating 1 is fixed and needle-locked according to the invention. The needling process is performed on a special machine on which the fibers are first applied evenly to the conveyor belt with a special feeder mechanism. The amount of application of each ingredient is adjusted to determine the thickness of layer 2. A coating is applied to the top and / or bottom or both sides of layer 2 fibers 1. The fibers are pressed between the cylinders and then needled. Needling is a process in which a series of particularly serrated needles mounted on a lath pierces layer 2 fibers and coatings 1. During the piercing, the needle teeth intertwine the fibers and interconnect them. The complexity and density of the needle layer is greater, the greater the density of the needles used and the greater the number of punctures. Because the fibers are long enough and firm, they give the needle material sufficient strength. Needling can only be performed from one or both sides.

During needling, the coating 1 is also pierced, which is thus interwoven with the fibers of layer 2 into a uniform and sufficiently rigid structure which is necessary for handling the drape. The curtain made in this way on the same machine is lightly sprayed on the upper side with environmentally friendly and degradable latex, cellulosic adhesive or other binder, and with the help of a built-in planter or. sowing seed plants with seed (3) of selected plants. The binder on the machine dries and binds the seed so that the seed does not fall off during handling and laying.

In the following embodiment, fertilizers and / or fertilizers are also added to layer 2. biomass in the form of textiles or other wastes from natural materials, further accelerating the growth of selected plant species.

Needle seed lugs are cut into rolls of different widths and lengths. Depending on the purpose of use, ie narrower or shorter rolls or plates, 200 cm of basic curtains and any length can be cut curtains of any dimension. The production of seed curtains is mainly intended for widths of 15 cm to 50 cm, but also 100 cm or 200 cm and lengths 3 to 10 m, maximum 30 m or 50 m.

-3Towing seed keyboards is usually not necessary as it is easy to shake a thin layer of earth over the curtain, except on banks where wire or wooden anchors are used.

The seed curtain according to the invention also creates a favorable microclimate for seed germination and plant growth, thereby ensuring faster seed germination and subsequently stronger plant growth. By absorbing and retaining water, it prevents the soil from drying out. It also protects the plants from high and low temperatures, which favorably extends the period suitable for landscaping. The seed curtain according to the invention is useful only for a certain period of time, or throughout the growing season of plant species. After performing the function, the lining of the invention disintegrates into humus.
