Abstract

For plant-ready packaging bare root ornamental, useful or Wildgehoelze is a moistened with water packaging material, which decomposes in the soil to humus Traegerschicht, in particular a tissue or mesh of plant material, and carried by this layer of peat and one in the ground itself to humus decomposing binder, in particular cellulose, having the peat-binder layer wrapped inwardly around the bare roots. In order to plant the goat fur, the winding with the roots contained therein is planted as it is. From the Traegerschicht and the binder produced in the soil humus.

Packaging materials and methods Field of application of the invention;

The invention relates to a packaging material and method for plant-ready packaging rootless ornamental, Hutz- or wild shrubs.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions:

It is known to wrap rootless ornamental, eucalyptus or wild shrubs ready for planting for transport and / or storage by bedding the bare roots of each such shrub into peat moss moistened with water. The peat moss with the roots therein is supplied in a known type of packaging in a bag made of plastic, in a second type of packaging in a wire mesh basket. These methods require a very expensive especially for the second type of packaging device.

Before the ornamental, useful or wild wood plant is planted, the plastic film is removed from the rootstock when the first type of packaging is used. This dissolves the

Peat mull from the roots packed in it. It is unavoidable that fine roots are destroyed, which makes good growth after planting difficult *

In the case of species of the named species packed according to the second type, the wire mesh basket and its contents are planted, whereby fine roots can neither be damaged nor dried out. This advantage is contrasted by the disadvantage that for this type of packaging the costly complicated wire mesh basket is required, and that its use requires a device that is significantly more expensive than that for the former packaging »The wire mesh basket in the ground only after several years due to corrosion and acts disturbing until then, eg when the soil is loosened.

ZJeI _{1 of} the invention :,

The invention allows rootless ornamental, useful or wild shrubs to be packed in a simpler manner quickly without the use of a special device so that damage during unpacking nor drying out after unpacking is possible, and also no wire basket or the like remains disturbing in the ground ,

Explanation of the essence

The invention has for its object to develop an improved packaging of the type mentioned.

To achieve this object, a packaging means is used according to the invention, which consists of a carrier layer and a layer carried by this.

The carrier layer is permeable to water and air. It is useful a tissue or braid, but may also be a fungus or Plies. It consists of a material decomposing in the soil to humus, expediently of vegetable paser, e.g. Jute, hemp, sisal, coconut or cotton fibers. Animal hair is also suitable, but significantly more expensive. The carrier layer carries a layer of a mixture of peat slurry and a binder which binds together the peat mull and bonds the peat graft binder layer to the carrier layer. Of course, the material of the carrier layer and the binder must have no adverse effects on the wood. A suitable binder is raw cellulose, which is also food for the wood. The dry matter ratio of the binder to peat slurry may be 1: 1 to 1: 9. The peat-binder layer may additionally contain the wood-adapted fertilizer (natural, synthetic or mineral fertilizer), Also, the binder may be wholly or partially a fertilizer with binding property. In this sense, bindable feces, e.g. Rinderkot or Schweinejauche. The packaging material is wrapped several times around the roots, its thickness being adjusted to conform to the roots when moistened with water and then wrapped around the rootstock.

The packaging material can be obtained from a peat, binder and water existing mass in the manner of paper or paperboard production.

For ready-to-pack a root-bare ornamental, useful or wild shrubs, the packaging material with the peat-binder layer is wrapped inwards around the bare roots. For this, the dry packaging material is moistened with water, e.g. by

The packaging material is designed so that it not only covers the roots along their entire length, but extends beyond the root ends and can be wrapped several times around the roots Packaging material is wrapped one or a few times around the roots, the partially formed in this state winding at the end, which is adjacent to the root tips, closed by the root tips projecting part of the packaging material is folded over the next step The finished roll is sufficiently held together under the effect of the binder * The wood, whose roots are stuck in the roll, is placed in a bag of moisture-resistant, provided with air holes material, such as plastic film.

The number and size of the air holes should be such that on the one hand as much air enters the bag as is necessary to prevent the formation of mold on the wet roll, on the other hand as little as possible moist air escapes from the bag The wrap stays moist for a long enough time.

The packed ornamental, useful or wild wood remains ready for weeks for weeks, and can not be damaged even after the expulsion of linos pen. The wrap surrounding the roots is planted as it is. Damage of fine roots, which "have grown during storage, is excluded since, according to experience, these do not grow out of the v-neck and the roll undergoes no change because, as a result of the carrier

layer and the binder remains dimensionally stable. After planting, the carrier layer and the binder quickly become humus and thus food for the wood.

The packaging material according to the invention is inexpensive to produce and has only advantageous, but no adverse effects on the wood. It's environmentally friendly. The packaging method described is simple and saves a lot of time, its implementation requires no special device and is gentle on the wood.
