Forest Service Type Bale

The Forest Service type bale is probably the one most widely used packaging method today. It consists of using reinforced water-proof paper and sphagnum moss. Alternate layers of seedlings and moss are placed on the paper until a predetermined number of plants are arranged, roots to the center and tops to either end. The paper is then closed to form a round bale and fastened with strapping steel or wire.
