The basic principles of the utility model defined in the following description can be applied to other implementation schemes, modification schemes, improvement schemes, equivalent schemes and other technical schemes without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The planting box with earthworm carrying bin comprises:

[0040] A box body 100;

[0041] The bin assembly 200 includes a bin body 210 and a bin cover 220, the bin body 210 is arranged in the box body 100 and is in close contact with the side wall 110 of the box body 100, a through hole 210a is formed in the bin body 210, the through hole 210a is away from the side wall 110 of the box body 100, an opening 210b is formed in the upper surface of the bin body 210, and organic waste is placed into the bin body 210 through the opening 210b, and the bin cover 220 is detachably connected with the opening 210b of the bin body 210.

[0042] The bin assembly 200 is used for placing organic waste and earthworms, and the organic waste serves as food for the earthworms. By regularly placing organic waste in the two bins, the earthworms can be attracted by the food to pass through the through hole 210a to loosen the soil in the box body 100, and the earthworm manure increases the soil fertility, realizes resource recycling, biological composting, automatic soil loosening, reduces fertilization and watering, and has multiple functions. The biological composting can be discarded, cleaned and replaced together with the bin assembly 200, or the organic waste can be continuously added as the amount of biological composting decreases, so that the organic waste is prevented from being directly placed on the soil and needs to be regularly turned over and transferred to fertile soil.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the box body 100 includes:

[0044] a side wall 110;

[0045] a box bottom plate 120, the edge of the box bottom plate 120 extends upward to form the side wall 110;

[0046] The bin assembly 200 is supported by the box bottom plate 120, and the bin assembly 200 is in close contact with the side wall 110.

[0047] The shape and size of the box body 100 can be adjusted according to the use requirements, for example, the box body 100 can be rectangular, that is, the box bottom plate 120 is also rectangular, and the side wall 110 is a rectangular frame structure. The length of the box body 100 can be 60 cm, the width can be 40 cm, and the height can be 23 cm.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the box bottom plate 120 includes:

[0049] a bottom plate 121, the edge of the bottom plate 121 extends upward to form the side wall 110, and the bin assembly 200 is in abutment with the bottom plate 121;

[0050] An arched plate 122 is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 121 in a manner of upward protrusion, a plurality of holes 122a are formed on the arched plate 122, and a liquid storage compartment 123 is formed between the arched plate 122 and the bottom plate 121.

[0051] The arched plate 122 is arranged around the sidewall 110, for example, the sidewall 110 is divided into two longer sides and two shorter sides, the gap between the arched plate 122 and the two longer sides is smaller, and the gap between the arched plate 122 and the two shorter sides is larger.

[0052] It should be noted that the upper part of the arched plate 122 is used to place soil, and therefore the hole diameter of the hole 122a is small. The arched plate 122 is uniformly provided with a plurality of holes 122a, and after the liquid is injected into the box 100, the liquid can be deposited in the liquid storage compartment 123 through the holes 122a. The liquid includes water and nutrient solution, and the nutrient solution and nutrients can be absorbed by the soil through the holes 122a.

[0053] By designing the arched plate 122 and the holes 122a thereon, a certain amount of water is maintained in the liquid storage compartment 123 to maintain soil moisture, and by using the capillary phenomenon of soil, the nutrient solution in the liquid storage compartment 123 can be attracted to various parts of the soil to maintain soil humidity and reduce watering and fertilization.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , the sidewall 110 is provided with overflow holes 110a, for example, three overflow holes 110a are formed on the two longer sides of the sidewall 110, respectively. The overflow holes 110a and the bottom plate 121 are spaced apart, and the distance therebetween can be adjusted and designed according to the use requirement. As a preferred embodiment, the overflow holes 110a do not exceed the highest point of the arched plate 122, and the distance between the highest point of the arched plate 122 and the bottom plate 121 is 8 cm.

[0055] By providing the overflow holes 110a, excess nutrient solution can be discharged from the planting box to avoid root rot caused by excessive water. In addition, the contact area between the arched bottom and the air is increased, thereby increasing the oxygen content of the soil and promoting plant growth.

[0056] Referring to Figure 1 , the number of the compartment assemblies 200 is two, and they are arranged at two opposite corners of the rectangular box 100. By placing organic waste in the two compartments in a cross manner, the activity path of the earthworms is increased, thereby improving the loosening ability of the soil and being more conducive to plant growth.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 , the compartment body 210 includes:

[0058] Container bottom plate 211;

[0059] The side panel 212 of the silo body has an opening 210b at its upper end and is closed by the bottom plate 211 of the silo body at its lower end. The side panel 212 of the silo body has a through hole 210a.

[0060] The cross-section of the chamber 210 is rectangular, for example, the side length of the chamber 210 is 10cm, and the diameter of the through hole 210a is about 2cm, just enough for earthworms to pass through. The height of the through hole 210a can be adjusted according to usage requirements.

[0061] The side panel 212 of the compartment includes:

[0062] The side surface 212a of the compartment body with an opening is provided with the through hole 210a;

[0063] The compartment body abuts against the side 212b, and the compartment body abuts against the side wall 110 of the box body 100.

[0064] The compartment 210 is rectangular, meaning that there are two side openings 212a on the compartment, and the two side openings 212a on the compartment are adjacent to each other.

[0065] The number of the two abutting sides 212b of the hopper body is two, and the two abutting sides 212b of the hopper body are adjacent to each other.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the opening 210b of the compartment cover 220 and the compartment body 210 are connected by a snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, which enables a detachable connection.

[0067] The height of the compartment 210 is higher than the height of the box 100, that is, the upper surface of the compartment assembly 200 protrudes from the upper surface of the box 100. This not only increases the volume of the compartment, but also makes it easier to connect the compartment cover 220 to the opening 210b of the compartment 210.

[0068] The planting box carrying the earthworm compartment can be assembled using common household items. Two options are provided below:

[0069] In the first scheme, the box 100 can be assembled by a turnover box and a hollow basket. First, punch holes on the side of the turnover box, then place the hollow basket upside down on the bottom plate of the turnover box and in the middle of the turnover box, so that the holes on the turnover box form the overflow holes 110a, the gaps on the hollow basket form the holes 122a, and the upside-down hollow basket forms the arched plate 122. If the gaps on the hollow basket are large, gauze can be placed on the hollow basket. The bin body 210 can be a beverage bottle, and holes are punched on two adjacent sides of the beverage bottle to form the through holes 210a. Two bin bodies 210 are placed on the diagonal lines of the turnover box.

[0070] In the second scheme, the box 100 can be assembled by a turnover box and a plastic hollow pad. First, punch holes on the side of the turnover box, the holes on the side of the turnover box as overflow holes 110a, then place the plastic hollow pad in the middle of the bottom plate of the turnover box as the arched plate 122, the gaps on the plastic hollow pad form the holes 122a, and if the gaps on the plastic hollow pad are large, cotton cloth can be placed on the plastic hollow pad. The bin body 210 can be a sealed box, and holes are punched on two adjacent sides of the sealed box to form the through holes 210a. Two bin bodies 210 are placed on the diagonal lines of the turnover box.

[0071] Therefore, the planting box with the worm bin is easy to implement and manufacture. The bin assembly 200 is used for placing organic waste and worms, and the organic waste is used as food for the worms. By regularly placing the organic waste in the two bins, the worms can be attracted by the food, pass through the through holes 210a, loosen the soil in the box 100, increase the soil fertility by the worm castings, realize the recycling of resources, biological composting, automatic soil loosening, and reduction of fertilization and watering, etc. The biological composting can be discarded, cleaned, replaced with the bin assembly 200, or the organic waste can be continuously added as the amount of biological composting decreases. The organic waste is prevented from being directly placed on the soil, and the soil needs to be regularly turned over and transferred. The excess nutrient solution can be discharged from the planting box through the overflow holes 110a on the side wall 110 to avoid root rot caused by excessive water, and the overflow holes 110a also increase the contact area between the arched bottom and the air, thereby increasing the oxygen content of the soil and promoting the growth of plants.

[0072] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it. The present embodiment cannot be used to limit the patent application range of the present application, i.e. any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the disclosed spirit of the present application still fall within the patent range of the present application.
