Abstract:
1. A method of making an artificial seedbed comprising the steps of: forming a layer of substrate by air-blowing cellulose fibers and a biodegradable cellulose-based binder against a surface, whereby a biodegradeable substrate without synthetic fibers and comprising cellulose fibers and cellulose-based binder is formed; depositing seeds on said layer of substrate comprising cellulose fibers and biodegradable cellulose-based binder; covering said seeds with another layer of substrate comprising cellulose fibers and biodegradable cellulose-based binder; and compacting said layers of substrate with pressure; whereby said seeds are sandwiched between said layers of substrate, thereby forming a sheet without synthetic fibers which serves as an artificial seedbed.
