Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0531238A1] The method consists in depositing the substrate (5) and the plant (3) into a gutter (12), in longitudinally pressing the substrate (5), in entraining the plant (3) and the substrate (5), maintaining the said pressure, in rolling a ventilated fabric (web) (43) around the substrate (5) and in fixing the free end of this fabric (web) (43) to the root ball. The machine comprises four drive rollers (10a to 10d) and an endless belt (11) which delimits the gutter (12), one (10a) of the rollers being movable between two positions, one of which is close to the other upper roller (10b) and one of which is at a distance therefrom. <IMAGE>
