PCT No. PCT/EP89/00372 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 21, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 21, 1989 PCT Filed Apr. 7, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO89/09728 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 19, 1989.For baling shrubs or bushes, in particular rose bushes, the roots (12) of the plants (10) substantially freed from soil are embedded in a moisture-containing substrate (14) such as peat and provided with a sheath or envelope. For this purpose a hollow of wire grating (16) is formed which is then partially filled with substrate (14). Thereafter the roots (12) of the lying plant (10) are placed on the substrate (14). Further substrate (14) is then applied to the roots (12). Finally the wire grating (16) is deformed by bending two edges (24, 26) of the hollow together to form a tube and the edges (24, 26) of the wire grating (16) are fixedly connected together. A machine for carrying out this method comprises at least one trough (48) onto which the wire grating (16) can be placed. A ram (74) is shaped complementary to the trough (48) and adapted to be pressed into the latter to deform the wire grating (16 ) to a hollow. For fixedly holding the wire grating (16) at least at one longitudinal edge of the trough (48) a holding means (64) is provided and at least one flap (60, 62) for pivoting the wire grating (16) is pivotal about said longitudinal edge. |
