Description

Description A SEED LINE NET FOR GREENING

Technical Field

[1] The present invention is related to a seed line for greening, and more particularly to a seed line which can protect from soil erosion through stimulating germination of seeds wherein it is difficult for the vegetations to germinate or grow, such as inclined plane, and a method for preparing the same. Background Art

[2] Generally, after inclined plane, peripheral slanting plane, erosion plane and retarding basin were damaged from natural disaster or artificially destroy, if they leave as it is, they would be exposed to a dangerous breakdown caused by erosion. To prevent from such danger, and for recovering the damaged landscape of the inclined plane, the turfs are used to be planted. However, most of the outer layer of vegetation ground for the turfs is comprised of infertile polishing soil or solid earth. Accordingly it has significantly low adaptability for taking the root or planting, whereby it has fundamental problems such as destroy of the turfs as well as washing off the surface soil and collapse of slanting surface due to ice water and rainwater in the thawing seasons or an occasion of downpour leading to repeated works for hardening ground or turfs repair. Further, planting of turfs is the process depended upon manpower during the whole process and is limited in view of supply and demand of resources.

[3] Therefore, in the present state, it is applied in very limited way to the regions where a post-management would be possible, considering its high cost of construction and disharmony with peripheral vegetations.

[4]

[5] For solving the above mentioned drawbacks, various methods of greening have been proposed.

[6]

[7] Figures 1 and 2 are illustrations of greening method according to an example of a prior art. As it can be seen in Fig.1, this technique is related to using the net consisted of straws and polyethylene meshes. This method is, as it can be seen in Fig.2, comprised of plowing the furrows onto the slanting surface, installing the mixture of fertilizers therein, sowing seed all over the surface, and covering the fabrics composed of straws and polyethylene meshes, as disclosed in Fig.l. However, such a method still has complicated problems on the method of works thereby increasing working period and cost.

[8] Figure 3 is an illustration of a net for greening according to another example of a prior art. It consists of an exterior layer(l) having a shape of mesh net, the first inner layer(2) piled onto the surface of the exterior layer, the seeds(3)attached to the first inner layer, the second inner layer(4)to prevent from detaching the seeds, and water absorbing layer(5)covering the second inner layer to absorb water thereon. However, this still has problems to be solved because it has so complicated constitutions in view of covering up and down side of the seeds with the first inner layer and the second inner layer, thereby it is difficult to appropriately vegetate since the roots could not settle down or stems of germinated seeds could not come out against its constitutions. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[9] Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a net for greening allowing it to protect from eroding soil in inclined surface and to easily rehabilitate an original ground view, and a method of greening using the net.

[10] It is another aspect of the present invention to provide a net for greening allowing it to keep moisture and nutrient of fertilizer for germination and rooting of seeds, and a method of greening using the net.

[11] It is also another aspect of the present invention to provide a net for greening allowing it easy to set up hereby to cut down the manpower, and a method of greening using the net. Technical Solution

[12] A net for greening of present invention to accomplish the above aspects is comprised of a mesh net fabricated with horizontal lines and longitudinal lines repeatedly with a certain space there between; and seed lines connected with at least one of horizontal lines and longitudinal lines of the mesh net.

Advantageous Effects

[13] A net for greening and a greening method using the net of the present invention are easy to prepare and settle, thereby it could be lessen manpower and be expected to the effects for maintaining moisture and nutrient for germination and taking root of the seeds. Further, it can be expected to the effects for preventing the slanting surface from soil erosion and for recovering the scenery. Brief Description of the Drawings

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[24] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in further detail.

[25] A specific feature of constitution of the net for greening of the present invention is that the seed lines is formed with the mixture of seeds, fertilizer, and leaf mold; and paper wrapping thereof.

[26]

[27] A specific feature of constitution of the net for greening of the present invention is that the mesh net uses a net fabricated with fibroid materials extracted from natural coconuts or a net fabricated with fibroid materials extracted from natural hemp.

[28]

[29] A method of preparing for a net for greening is comprised of forming a mesh net by fabricating horizontal lines and longitudinal lines repeatedly with a certain space therebetween; and arranging seed lines by connecting seed lines which are prepared with wrapping up a mixture of leaf mold, seeds and fertilizer in paper, evenly to at least one of horizontal lines and longitudinal lines of the mesh net with a certain space therebetween.

[30]

[31] A specific feature of the method of preparing the net for greening of the present invention is that the mesh net uses a net fabricated with fibroid materials extracted from natural coconuts or natural hemp.

[32]

[33] Additional aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent through the below detailed description for the examples referring to accompanied drawings. Hereinafter, the description for the constitutions and function thereof for the examples of the present invention is provided referring to accompanied drawings. It is to be understood that the above and following description for the constitutions and function thereof is exemplary and explainable only and are not restrictive of the invention as disclosed. [34]

Mode for the Invention

[35] Figs. 4 to 7 illustrate various examples of the net for greening of the present invention.

[36]

[37] Fig. 4 is an illustration for constitutions of a net for greening according an example of the present invention. As it can be seen, it is disclosed that seed lines(30) are connected to a mesh net of which shape is net-like and which is fabricated with horizontal lines(lθ) and longitudinal lines(20) with a certain space therebetween. The seed lines(30) is, as it can be seen in Fig. 5, formed by wrapping up seeds(31) and, fertilizer and leaf mold(32) with the paper(33). The paper is used in this example, but any material, such as a dense net can be also used if it is sufficient to wrap the contents, such as, seeds(31) and, fertilizer and leaf mold(32) to prevent scattering away. That is, a net which has a hole with magnitude allowing germinated seeds to get through thereof can be also used. A reason that paper is used in the instant invention is because the paper could maintain the contents therein for a certain period. That is, when the certain period has passed, it can be naturally decomposed or dissolved by rain waters. For this, it is preferable to have a suitable thick for germinated seeds to push through thereof.

[38]

[39] It is preferable to use fibroid materials extracted from natural hemp or coconuts for horizontal lines (10) and longitudinal lines (20) which compose a net. In the meantime, there can be various types for mesh net other than the above exemplified mesh net, but is preferable to have the durability for preventing the slanting surface from being washed away until it is decomposed naturally.

[40]

[41] Fig. 6 and 7 illustrate the examples for connecting the seed lines to horizontal lines (10) and longitudinal lines (20) with all direction and diagonal direction.

[42]

[43] Fig. 8 is a flowchart for illustrating a method for preparing the net for greening of the present invention. As it can be seen, the method is comprised of forming a mesh net(S41) by fabricating horizontal lines and longitudinal lines repeatedly with a certain space therebetween; and arranging seed lines(S42) by connecting seed lines to the mesh net. As explained above, it could be available for a method of arranging seed lines that the seed lines connect to one direction of horizontal lines and longitudinal lines with a certain space therebetween, to both directions of horizontal lines and longitudinal lines, or to be diagonal direction.

[44]

[45] Fig. 9 is an illustration of an example for greening using a net for greening of the present invention. As it can be seen, it is disclosed that the seeds which was inside the seed line (not shown) connected to longitudinal lines (20) are germinated to take root in the ground(40). It is advantageous for the slanting surface not to be eroded or collapsed since germination and taking root lead to solidify the parts of the roots. Further, it can expect the effects of landscaping depended upon kind of seeds.

[46]

[47] Various modifications and variations can be made to the examples described herein. For example, although in the claims, it is disclosed of an example for connecting to one of horizontal lines and longitudinal lines evenly, it is also possible to modify or change to connect the both of lines or to connect the lines in diagonal direction. Moreover, contents of the seed lines or external form thereof could be changed or modified in various ways. Therefore, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to foregoing described examples, and should be determined by following the claims and equivalent thereof.

[48]
