| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a medium that is suitable for storing, transporting and/or growing a plant (106), comprising: a mass of crimped intermixed cellulose paper strips (102), each of said strips (102) having a narrow width, elongated longitudinally compressed length, and a plurality of transverse folds over the length thereof to provide said strips (102) with a longitudinally compressed construction; said paper strips (102) having a plant growth-enhancing material adhered to their surface. In one embodiment, the inventive medium is made by a process comprising: treating a sheet of paper with a plant growth-enhancing material; cutting the sheet of paper into a plurality of paper strips (102) having narrow widths and elongated lengths; crimping the paper strips (102) to form a plurality of transverse folds over the length of said strips and provide said strips with a longitudinally compressed construction; and intermixing said strips (102) to form a mass of crimped intermixed cellulose paper strips treated with a plant growth-enhancing material.</p> |
