ABSTRACT:
A method of using a paper packing product (10) to store/ship a plant (12) with exposed roots (14). The method comprises the steps of: providing a multitude of narrow, elongated strips of paper material; wetting the paper strips; and packing the paper strips around the exposed roots (14) of a plant (12). In this manner, a root-packed plant is created which comprises a plant with unsoiled roots and a paper packing product packed around the unsoiled roots. Preferably, the paper strips include a plurality of transverse folds against the natural resilience of the material to form a longitudinally compressed strip and these strips are intertwined and interconnected to form a resilient mass. The preferred paper material is untreated thirty pound kraft paper and the strips are approximately 1/8 inch wide and approximately four to six inches long in an unfolded state.
