Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to figure 1 , according to the partial sectional view of the artificial seedbed of the present invention, the artificial seedbed is marked with 10 . figure 1 The middle bed 10 is a network of wood pulp (cellulose) fibers 20 and a cellulose-based binder (not shown). The seedbed 10 also contains seeds 21 and may also optionally contain fertilizers 23, hydrogels 22 or other additives such as herbicides, insecticides and growth hormones to promote germination and growth of the seeds. Both the dry hydrogel 22 and the seeds 21 are secured within the web of fibers 20 . Fibers 20 are bound by a cellulose-based binder during extrusion. The air-forming combination of wood pulp fibers and cellulose binder involved here is called coform. A system for infusing hydrogels into composite materials is disclosed in US Patent No. 4,604,313, incorporated herein by reference.

[0024] Figure 2 is a view of a seedbed 110 in accordance with the present invention. The seed 121 has g...

Abstract

An artificial seedbed is disclosed comprising a foundation of virgin, re-processed or waste pulp formed by an aqueous based compression system, a dry non-woven air-blown system containing a cellulose-based binder or adhesive or a dry non-woven needle punched system containing a cellulose-based binder or adhesive. The seedbed can contain seeds, fertilizers, growth hormones, hydrogels, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, or any other additive to promote the germination and the growth of the seeds and surrounding landscape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the manufacture and use of nonwoven materials containing 100% cellulose fibers as a medium for incorporating desired seeds, fertilizers, moisture-absorbing hydrogels and / or herbicides into the seedbed. In particular, the present invention relates to providing a fully biodegradable seedbed with a substantially cellulose base free of synthetic materials. Background technique [0002] Over the years, people have used vegetation to beautify the environment and stabilize the soil. A particular problem with vegetation is that it takes a lot of time for the plants to reproduce and / or take root. Slow root growth and insufficient water holding capacity result in stunted seed germination. To promote plant growth, prefabricated seed carriers have been developed, see for example the disclosures of US Patent Nos. 2648165 (Nestor), 2826865 (Chohamin), 2909003 (Marshall), 3914901 (Muldner). [0003] Seed carriers are known technol...
