在完成《自動供水環保智能盆栽2代》(以下簡稱「二代」)後,我發現「二代」其實還有一些缺點,所以我持續改進後變成了「三代」。
The Improvement of Self-Watering plants Pots 3rd Gen. 三代的改進
Although I embellish the outwards and reduce the steps in 2nd Gen., but I found I still needed to more embellish and reduce steps, if I would like to popularize it to white-collar workers.
二代雖然美化了外觀,也減少了製作的工序,但我發現如果要讓上班族更接受這個盆栽,我還需要更美觀、再減少工序。
There are 5 major steps in 2nd Gen., cut bottle, cut bottle cap, cut nylon net, screw nylon net by bottle cap, and thread the nylon string through the nylon net of cap. It reduce a step from 1st Gen., but it still has a hard work, cut bottle cap by a sharp blade. And I have to operate carefully to avoid hurt myself. It will be a stumbling block for popularizing.
二代有五個主要的步驟(切瓶子、切蓋子、切紗網、旋入紗網、繩子穿入紗網),雖然較一代的六個主要步驟進步,但仍然有個用鋒利的刀子切蓋子的苦工,因為連我自己切的時候都得很小心的用力,以免自己切到手。這個步驟對於推廣會是一個主要的問題。
Besides, after some people buy 2-inch pots and transplant plants to another container, they will discard these 2-inch pots. This does not comply with the principle of Permaculture "Produce no waste".
此外,有一些人會買2吋盆栽移植到二代內,但多出的盆子卻得要丟棄,反而製造更多的問題,這樣並不符合樸門「不產生廢棄物」的原則。
Consider of these requests, I design the 3rd Gen. by the principle of Permaculture "Use and value renewable resources and services". I will continue to produce 2nd Gen. for the family, relatives and friends. But if I would like to popularize to another, I will still use 3rd Gen..
所以,我把這些需求考慮後,運用樸門「正面思考,問題本身就是答案」的原則設計了三代。我會繼續製作二代給家人、親友,但如果考慮要推廣給其他人,我仍然會以三代為主。
Steps 操作步驟
- Prepare a PVC or PE can, and warsh it.
找一個PVC或PE飲料空罐,然後洗淨瓶身。
- Prepare a 2-inch pot, and transplant plants to another container. Tthread the nylon string through the hole in the bottle of pot.
找一個2吋的盆栽盒或是把買來的植栽先倒出來,然後把提袋繩插入底部的洞內。
- Put the pot in the can, and cut the can in half. So that the pot can be smoothly placed on the can.
把盆栽盒放入飲料空罐內,用剪刀沿杯體切除空罐上部,使盆栽盒能平穩地放在空罐上。
- Potting soil and seeds. The end of string should be exposed on earthen.
先把部份土壤放入瓶身,再移植植栽的根球,最後將剩餘的土壤放入。記得,提袋繩的繩頭最後是露出土壞的,所以在裝土時要拉住繩頭不要被土埋過。
- Putting pot on the can. Water the soil from the pot the first time until extra water left into the can in order to make sure that it is uniformly wet and that the string also is wet. Next time, you can just lift off the pot to add water to the can instead of pouring it over the soil. Water will be sucked up through the string into the pot.
把盆栽盒放入飲料空罐內,第一次要加水至盆栽盒內,直到土壤均勻吸飽水後多餘的水留入飲料罐內。記得,下一次,直接把盆栽盒拿起來加水至飲料空罐內,而不用加水至盆栽盒內,水會順著繩子進入盆栽盒內。
- Putting the paper shredded under soil, than finish 3rd Gen..
把碎紙機的碎紙放在土壤上,就完成3代環保智能盆栽了。
請問為何要讓繩頭留在外面而不埋在土中呢? 謝謝。
回覆刪除Hi HsiangLin Song,
回覆刪除繩頭留在外面可以達到幾個效果:一是加速水份揮發;二是了解土壤內的濕度。
