Abstract
A method of treating plants for the purpose of transport and storage, according to which method the root section together with a certain quantity of earth is enveloped by a fabric, and wherein is used a bag, pouch or the like of e.g. an organic material closed at one end, and the other, open end of which comprises a cord plaited through the fabric, into which pouch is positioned the root section together with a clod of earth, and which cord is tightened and tied.
Claims3
A method of treating plants for purpose of transport and storage wherein the root section of the plant to be treated together with earth forming a ball is enveloped by a fabric of organic consumable material, comprising:
- threading a plurality of draw cords on peripheral courses through the side wall of a length of tubing formed of flexible organic consumable material, the draw cords being in substantially equal-length increments along the length of said tubing;
- cutting said tubing on transverse planes substantially parallel to and spaced from said cords to provide a plurality of tubing sections having said cord woven therethrough adjacent a first end and being open adjacent a second, opposite end;
- cinching said wall at said second end to provide a centralized closure for each of said sections;
- distending said first end of one of said sections over and around an exteriorly mounted substantially horizontally disposed ring support;
- positioning said root ball through the open distended end of said tubing section and interiorly thereof;
- removing said first section end from said ring support;
- and
- drawing said draw cord to tighten said first section end around the stem of the plant above said root ball.

- cinching said wall at said second end to provide a centrallized closure for each of said sections;
- distending said first end of one of said sections over and around an exteriorly mounted substantially horizontally disposed ring support having a platform mounted centrally thereunder for support of said second section end;
- positioning said root ball through the open distended end of said tubing section and interiorly thereof and onto supporting relation on said platform;
- removing said first section end from said ring support;
- drawing said draw cord to tighten said first section end around the stem of the plant above said root ball;
- and
- removing vertically through said ring support said plant stem and enveloped root ball.
