Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Raised beds can be formed by piling up soil, but the work of piling up soil requires a great deal of time and labor. Also, generally, a fence for preventing the collapse of the piled-up soil is made by arranging plates along the piled-up soil around the piled-up soil. In this case, reinforcement for preventing the collapse due to the soil pressure of the plates, such as attaching a support rod extending along the direction in which the plates are arranged to the outer surface side of the plates, is required, so the reinforcement work takes time and labor. Also, the plates tend to interfere with the ventilation and drainage of the ridges.

[0005] The present invention provides a raised bed cultivation device that facilitates raised bed cultivation.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] With this configuration, by placing soil in the soil storage space, the wire mesh resists soil pressure through its rigidity and reinforcement by the connecting rods, keeping the soil in a mound and forming a raised bed. This eliminates the need for special mounding or reinforcement work, making raised bed cultivation easier. Furthermore, the wire mesh has a mesh size suitable for aeration and drainage of the bed, facilitating ventilation and drainage.

[0008] In the present invention, Preferably, the connecting rods are provided at multiple locations on the side portion.

[0009] With this configuration, the sides of the wire mesh are firmly reinforced at multiple points by connecting rods, so that the wire mesh can withstand soil pressure and create raised beds by piling up soil.

[0010] In the present invention, It is preferable that the wire mesh is provided with fasteners for securing rod-shaped members.

[0011] Depending on the crop being cultivated, such as asparagus, a rod-shaped member is needed to prevent the crop from growing outside the furrow, such as by attaching ropes. In such cases, this configuration allows the rod-shaped member to be fixed to the wire mesh with fasteners, eliminating the need for special fixing methods such as driving the rod-shaped member into the ground, making the process easier.

[0012] In the present invention, Preferably, the attachment portion of the fastener for attaching it to the wire mesh is configured to be inserted into the mesh of the wire mesh and secured to the wire mesh.

[0013] With this configuration, the mounting part is inserted into the mesh of the wire mesh, thereby locking the mounting part into the wire mesh and holding the fastener in place. This allows the fastener to be easily attached to the wire mesh, making it easy to secure the rod-shaped member to the wire mesh.

[0014] In the present invention, It is preferable that the holding portion for holding the rod-shaped member of the fixture is configured to hold the rod-shaped member by fitting it internally.

[0015] According to this configuration, since the rod-shaped member is held by the holding portion by fitting the rod-shaped member into the holding portion, the rod-shaped member can be easily attached to the fixture and can be easily fixed to the wire netting.

[0016] In the present invention, It is preferable that the rod-shaped member is fixed to the wire netting by the fixture in a state of extending upward from the wire netting.

[0017] According to this configuration, when it is necessary to install something such as a rope for preventing crops from protruding outside the ridges at a position higher than the ridges, it can be installed at a position higher than the ridges by holding it with the rod-shaped member, so it is easy to install at a position higher than the ridges such as a rope.

[0018] In the present invention, It is preferable that a non-woven fabric is provided which is placed in the culture soil accommodation space along the inner surface of the wire netting.

[0019] According to this configuration, since the non-woven fabric prevents the roots of the crops from extending outside the ridges through the meshes of the wire netting, a wire netting with relatively large meshes can be adopted, which can save costs.

[0020] In the present invention, It is preferable that the wire netting is a crimped net.

[0021] According to this configuration, since the high ridge forming frame is made of a crimped net, costs can be saved.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist thereof.

[0024] The ridge cultivation device is for ridge cultivation of various crops such as asparagus, strawberry, and tomato. In the following description, regarding the ridge forming frame of the ridge cultivation device, the direction of arrow F shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 is the "front direction of the forming frame", the direction of arrow B shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 is the "rear direction of the forming frame", the direction of arrow L shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 is the "left direction of the forming frame", the direction of arrow R shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 is the "right direction of the forming frame", the direction of arrow U shown in FIGS. 1, 6, and 7 is the "upper direction of the forming frame", and the direction of arrow D shown in FIGS. 1, 6, and 7 is the "lower direction of the forming frame".

[0025] 〔Overall Configuration〕 The raised bed cultivation device 1 comprises a raised bed forming frame 2, nonwoven fabric 3, and connecting rod 7 shown in Figure 1, and a fixing device 4 shown in Figure 3.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the raised bed forming frame 2 is a wire mesh 2 arranged in a loop-shaped fence in a plan view, and has a soil storage space 5 formed within the loop space. In this embodiment, the wire mesh 2 is crimped mesh. The soil storage space 5 is open both upward and downward. The opening extends across the entire surface of the soil storage space 5 in a plan view.

[0027] The loop-shaped wire mesh 2 can be divided into a front wire mesh 2a located at the front edge of the high ridge forming frame 2, a rear wire mesh 2b located at the rear edge of the high ridge forming frame 2, and side wire meshes 2c located at the left and right side edges of the high ridge forming frame 2. The front wire mesh 2a, rear wire mesh 2b, and the left and right side wire meshes 2c are connected by connecting coils 6. The left and right side wire meshes 2c can be divided into multiple segmented side wire meshes 2d in the front-to-back direction of the forming frame. The multiple segmented side wire meshes 2d are connected by connecting coils 6. The connecting coils 6 are wrapped around the ends of the front wire mesh 2a, rear wire mesh 2b, side wire mesh 2c, and segmented side wire meshes 2d, thereby connecting the front wire mesh 2a, rear wire mesh 2b, side wire mesh 2c, and segmented side wire meshes 2d.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the connecting rod 7 extends in the left-right direction of the ridge-forming frame 2 and is configured to connect the left and right side wire mesh 2c and the right side wire mesh 2c of the wire mesh 2 that are facing each other in the left-right direction of the forming frame. The connection of the connecting rod 7 to the side wire mesh 2c is performed by hooking the bent ends 7a, which are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 7, onto the wire of the side wire mesh 3c, as shown in Figure 2. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 7 is made of metal wire. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the connecting rod 7 is provided at multiple locations on the side wire mesh 2c. More specifically, the connecting rod 7 is provided at multiple locations on the upper part of the wire mesh 2 that are aligned linearly in the front-rear direction of the forming frame, and at multiple locations on the lower part of the wire mesh 2 that are aligned linearly in the front-rear direction of the forming frame. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, reinforcing rods 7b are provided to reinforce each of the connecting rods 7 located at multiple locations in the front-rear direction of the forming frame of the wire mesh 2. As shown in Figures 2 and 7, the reinforcing rods 7b are provided so as to extend in the vertical direction of the forming frame and are connected to the connecting rods 7 located at the top of the wire mesh 2 and the connecting rods 7 located at the bottom of the wire mesh 2. The lower end 7t of the reinforcing rods 7b may extend below the lower end of the high-ridge forming frame 2 and be driven into the ground. The connection of the reinforcing rods 7b to the connecting rods 7 is performed by welding. The reinforcing rods 7b are provided to correspond to two locations in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rods 7, but they may also be provided to correspond to only one location in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rods 7, or to correspond to three or more locations in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rods 7. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 7 located at the top of the wire mesh 2 and the connecting rod 7 located at the bottom of the wire mesh 2 are arranged vertically in a state where they overlap in a plan view, and the reinforcing rod 7b is provided in a state where it is connected to the vertically arranged connecting rods 7. When the connecting rod 7 located at the top of the wire mesh 2 and the connecting rod 7 located at the bottom of the wire mesh 2 do not overlap in a plan view and are provided in a state where they are offset in the front-rear direction of the forming frame, it is preferable to provide separately a reinforcing rod 7b that is connected to the upper connecting rod 7 and supports this connecting rod 7, and a reinforcing rod 7b that is connected to the lower connecting rod 7 and supports this connecting rod 7.

[0029] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in the wire mesh 2, when soil 9 is placed in the soil storage space 5, the rigidity of the wire mesh 2 and the reinforcement provided by the connecting rods 7 resist the soil pressure, causing the soil to pile up and form a raised bed 10.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, the nonwoven fabric 3 is configured to be placed in the soil storage space 5, attached to the wire mesh 2 along its inner surface, and held in place by the wire mesh 2. The size of the nonwoven fabric 3 is set to fit the entire inner surface of the wire mesh 2. The nonwoven fabric 3 covering the entire inner surface of the wire mesh 2 is composed of a plurality of divided nonwoven fabrics 3a arranged in the circumferential direction of the forming frame of the wire mesh 2. The plurality of divided nonwoven fabrics 3a are made by cutting a sheet of nonwoven fabric having a width W (see Figure 1) to a length corresponding to the vertical length of the wire mesh 2. The nonwoven fabric 3 is placed in the soil storage space 5 prior to the soil storage space 5 being filled with soil 9. As shown in Figure 2, the nonwoven fabric 3 is attached to the wire mesh 2 by inserting connecting members 11 into the nonwoven fabric 3 and the wire mesh 2 at appropriate points on the nonwoven fabric 3 and locking them in place. In this embodiment, the connecting member 11 is an annular fastener that can be inserted into the nonwoven fabric 3 and the wire mesh 2.

[0031] The fastener 4 is configured to be attached to the required locations on the wire mesh 2 to fix the rod-shaped member 8 (see Figures 6 and 7) to the wire mesh 2.

[0032] More specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the fastener 4 includes a holding portion 4a formed at one end of the fastener 4, and an attachment portion 4b extending from the holding portion 4a to the other end of the fastener 4.

[0033] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the holding portion 4a is provided with a holding hole 4c into which the rod-shaped member 8 is inserted, and is configured to hold the rod-shaped member 8 by fitting it inside.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the mounting portion 4b is formed in the shape of a strip and is configured to engage with and be held by the wire mesh 2 by being inserted into the mesh of the wire mesh 2. More specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the tip of the mounting part 4b is inserted into the mesh from the outside of the wire mesh 2, and the tip, which is located inside the wire mesh 2, is moved a predetermined distance in the front-rear direction of the forming frame before being brought out to the outside of the wire mesh 2 through the mesh. As a result, the mounting part 4b engages with the wire mesh 2 in a position aligned with the front-rear direction of the forming frame and is held by the wire mesh 2. The fixing device 4 can be fixed to the wire mesh 2 by the mounting part 4b being held by the wire mesh 2. Although not shown, by moving the tip of the mounting part 4b a predetermined distance in the up-down direction of the forming frame inside the wire mesh 2 and then bringing it out to the outside of the wire mesh 2 through the mesh, the mounting part 4b engages with the wire mesh 2 in a position aligned with the up-down direction of the forming frame and is held by the wire mesh 2.

[0035] In the case of the fixing device 4, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first rod-shaped member is fixed by holding the mounting portion 4b to the wire mesh 2 in a position along the front-rear direction of the forming frame. That is, the fixing device 4 is in a state where the holding portion 4a is held to the wire mesh 2 with the holding hole 4c facing up and down, and the rod-shaped member 8 that the holding portion 4a is fitted and holds is fixed to the wire mesh 2 with the rod-shaped member 8 extending upward from the wire mesh 2. The lower end of the rod-shaped member 8 may also be inserted into the ground.

[0036] Although not shown in the diagram, in the case of the fastener 4, the mounting portion 4b is held in the wire mesh 2 in an orientation along the vertical direction of the forming frame, thereby achieving the second rod-shaped member fixed state. That is, the fastener 4 is in a state where the holding portion 4a is held in the wire mesh 2 with the holding hole 4c facing front to back, and the rod-shaped member 8 that the holding portion 4a is fitted and holds is fixed to the wire mesh 2 in a state where it extends along the front to back direction of the forming frame.

[0037] When cultivating asparagus on raised beds using this raised bed cultivation device 1, the following procedure should be followed. Specifically, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the front wire mesh 2a, the rear wire mesh 2b, and the divided side wire mesh 2d are assembled in a loop-shaped fence on the ground G of the cultivation area, and the wire mesh 2 is placed on the ground G. The nonwoven fabric 3 is placed from above into the soil storage space 5, and appropriate parts of the nonwoven fabric 3 are connected to the wire mesh 2 by connecting members 11, so that the nonwoven fabric 3 is held by the wire mesh 2 so that it does not fall over inside the soil storage space 5. Connecting rods 7 are attached to the left and right side wire meshes 2c, and the left side wire mesh 2c and the right side wire mesh 2c are connected by the connecting rods 7 to reinforce the wire mesh 2 with the connecting rods 7. Reinforcing rods 7b are attached to the connecting rods 7 that are lined up in the front-to-back direction of the forming frame at the bottom of the wire mesh 2 to reinforce the lower connecting rods 7 with the reinforcing rods 7b. Reinforcement rods 7b are attached to connecting rods 7 arranged in the front-to-back direction of the forming frame at the top of the wire mesh 2, thereby connecting the upper connecting rods 7 with the reinforcement rods 7b.

[0038] Next, soil 9 is placed in the soil storage space 5 from above, and the soil 9 is piled up with wire mesh 2 to form a raised bed 10. Pipe members 12 for supplying irrigation water and the like are installed on the raised bed 10. Fixing devices 4 are attached to the wire mesh 2 at required locations such as the front and rear of the left and right side wire mesh 2c, with the attachment part 4b aligned with the front-to-back direction of the forming frame, and the rod-shaped members 8 are fitted into the holding part 4a, and the rod-shaped members 8 are fixed to the wire mesh 2 by the fixing devices 4 so that they extend upward from the wire mesh 2. A rope or other cord member 13 is stretched across the rod-shaped members 8 that are aligned in the front-to-back direction of the forming frame on the side of the wire mesh 2, and the cord members 13 are used to catch the asparagus stems and leaves that extend from the raised bed 10 and try to spread out to the side, thereby suppressing the overhang of the stems and leaves.

[0039] [Another embodiment] Figure 8 is a plan view showing the high-ridge forming frame 2 in a high-ridge cultivation apparatus of another embodiment. In the high-ridge forming frame 2 of the other embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the connection between the front edge wire mesh 2a and the divided side edge wire mesh 2d, and the connection between adjacent divided side edge wire meshes 2d are made by a connector 15 (see Figure 11) different from the connecting coil 6. Although not shown, the connection between the rear edge wire mesh 2b and the divided side edge wire mesh 2d is also made by the connector 15.

[0040] More specifically, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, bent ends 18 are provided at both ends of the front wire mesh 2a in the left-right direction of the forming frame, and the front end 19 of the divided side wire mesh 2d adjacent to the front wire mesh 2a and the bent ends 18 are overlapped in the in-out direction of the forming frame and connected by a connector 15, thereby connecting the front wire mesh 2a and the divided side wire mesh 2d. In this embodiment, an overlap is adopted in which the bent ends 18 are located outside the front end 19, but an overlap is also possible in which the bent ends 18 are located inside the front end 19. Although not shown, similar to the connection between the front wire mesh 2a and the divided side wire mesh 2d, bent ends are provided at both ends of the rear wire mesh 2b in the left-right direction of the forming frame, and the rear wire mesh 2b and the divided side wire mesh 2d are connected by overlapping these bent ends and connecting by a connector 15.

[0041] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the adjacent divided edge wire mesh 2d are connected by overlapping the rear end 20 of the front divided edge wire mesh 2d and the front end 19 of the rear divided edge wire mesh 2d of the adjacent divided edge wire mesh 2d in the direction of inward and outward movement of the forming frame and connecting them with a connector 15.

[0042] As shown in Figure 11, the connector 15 is provided with multiple connector bodies 16 arranged vertically. As shown in Figures 10 and 11, each of the multiple connector bodies 16 is made of bent wire. The wire is bent so that, in a plan view, the middle part in the longitudinal direction becomes a groove-shaped connector portion 16a, and both ends become stopper portions 16b that extend linearly from the connector portion 16a in opposite directions. The multiple connector bodies 16 are arranged vertically with adjacent connector bodies 16 separated vertically, and are connected by multiple connecting rods 17 so as not to disrupt the arrangement. The multiple connecting rods 17 are connected to both stopper portions 16b of the connector body 16. The connector body 16 is made of metal wire, and the connection of the connecting rods 17 to the stopper portions 16b is done by welding.

[0043] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the connecting portion 16a of each of the upper and lower connecting body 16 is configured to protrude through the mesh from the inside to the outside of the wire mesh, or from the outside to the inside of the wire mesh, and to allow insertion of the rod-shaped member 8 into the interior of the connecting portion 16a on the outside or inside of the wire mesh. Both stopper portions 16b of each of the upper and lower connecting body 16 are configured to be supported by the wire mesh by contacting the inside of the wire mesh when the connecting portion 16a protrudes to the outside of the wire mesh, and by contacting the outside of the wire mesh when the connecting portion 16a protrudes to the inside of the wire mesh.

[0044] The connection between the front edge wire mesh 2a and the divided side edge wire mesh 2d shall be carried out according to the following connection procedure. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the front wire mesh 2a and the divided side wire mesh 2d are arranged so that the bent end 18 of the front wire mesh 2a and the front end 19 of the divided side wire mesh 2d overlap in the direction of the inside and outside of the forming frame. The connector 15 is set on the bent end 18 and the front end 19 so that the connecting parts 16a of the connector body 16, which are arranged above and below the connector 15, protrude from the inside to the outside of the wire mesh through the mesh of the overlapping bent end 18 and the front end 19. The rod-shaped member 8 is inserted into the part of the connecting parts 16a that protrudes outside the wire mesh. The lower end 8a of the rod-shaped member 8 is inserted into the ground. Inserting the rod-shaped member 8 into the ground can increase its stability. Depending on the ground conditions, it may not be necessary to insert the rod-shaped member 8 into the ground. Both stopper portions 16b of the connector body 16 contact and are held against the inside of the wire mesh, the rod-shaped member 8 is sandwiched between the connector portion 16a and the wire mesh, the bent end 18 and the front end 19 are pressed together, the connector 15 is fixed to the wire mesh, the bent end 18 and the front end 19 are connected by the connector 15, and the front wire mesh 2a and the divided side wire mesh 2d are connected.

[0045] The connection of the divided side wire mesh 2d shall be carried out according to the following connection procedure. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, adjacent dividing side wire mesh 2d are arranged so that the rear end 20 and front end 19 of adjacent dividing side wire mesh 2d overlap in the direction of the inside and outside of the forming frame. When overlapping the rear end 20 and the front end 19, either an overlap where the rear end 20 is located inside the front end 19 or an overlap where the rear end 20 is located outside the front end 19 may be adopted. The connector 15 is set on the rear end 20 and the front end 19 so that the connecting parts 16a of the connector bodies 16 arranged above and below the connector 15 protrude from the inside to the outside of the wire mesh through the mesh of the overlapping rear end 20 and the front end 19. The rod-shaped member 8 is inserted into the part of the connecting part 16a that protrudes outside the wire mesh. The lower end 8a of the rod-shaped member 8 is inserted into the ground. Both stopper portions 16b of the connector body 16 contact and are received by the inside of the wire mesh, the rod-shaped member 8 is sandwiched between the connecting portion 16a and the wire mesh, the rear end 20 and the front end 19 are pressed together and the connector 15 is fixed to the wire mesh, the rear end 20 and the front end 19 are connected by the connector 15 and adjacent divided side wire mesh 2d are connected.

[0046] In the embodiment described above, a connecting structure is employed in which the rod-shaped member 8 is placed on the outside of the raised bed forming frame 2. However, if it is difficult to place the rod-shaped member 8 on the outside of the raised bed forming frame 2, such as when the raised bed cultivation device 1 is installed near a fence, the connector 15 may be set on the wire mesh so that the connecting portion 16a protrudes from the outside of the wire mesh to the inside through the mesh, and the rod-shaped member 8 may be inserted into the portion of the connecting portion 16a that protrudes into the wire mesh.

[0047] Alternatively, the following alternative embodiments may be adopted. (1) In the above embodiment, an example in which a reinforcing rod 7b is provided is shown, but it is also possible to omit the reinforcing rod 7b.

[0048] (2) In the above embodiment, an example in which the fixing device 4 is provided is shown, but it is also possible that the fixing device 4 is not provided.

[0049] (3) In the above embodiment, the holding portion 4a of the fastener 4 holds the rod-shaped member 8 by fitting it inside, but the holding portion 4a may hold the rod-shaped member 8 in any holding structure.

[0050] (4) In the above embodiment, the mounting portion 4b of the fastener 4 is secured to the wire mesh 2, but the mounting portion 4b may be attached to the wire mesh 2 by any connecting structure.
