[0002] As an important resource in my country's traditional medicine, the quality and yield of Chinese medicinal herbs are significantly affected by their growing environment, especially soil conditions. During the seedling stage, a high-quality soil environment is crucial for cultivating robust seedlings and ensuring the quality of the herbs. Suitable soil not only needs good aeration and water retention, but also should be rich in specific nutrients and maintain a suitable microbial community structure to meet the growth needs of different Chinese medicinal herb varieties.

[0003] Existing technology includes a soil amendment agent and soil amendment device for soil remediation, as provided by patent application number CN202221556188.4. This soil amendment agent and soil amendment device includes: a base plate, a mixing tank and a fixing tank fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, with an opening at the top of the fixing tank; a connecting pipe fixedly installed on the fixing tank, with one end of the connecting pipe extending into the mixing tank away from the fixing tank; a limit rod fixedly installed inside the fixing tank; a floating plate slidably installed on the limit rod; a connecting plate slidably installed on the limit rod; and an indicator rod fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate. This technical solution has the advantages of being convenient to use, simple to operate, providing timely reminders to add agents to the filling tank, and extending the service life of the agent pump. However, in practice, this technical solution is functionally limited, often only capable of single soil mixing or fertilization operations, and cannot simultaneously perform multiple improvement tasks such as soil nutrient replenishment, temperature regulation, and enhancement of microbial activity, making it difficult to meet the refined and efficient soil improvement needs of medicinal herb seedling cultivation.
