Abstract: The invention relates to a planting pot with a conical outer surface, bottom and shaped rim on the pot opening. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for producing such a planting pot from a blank that can be produced without material loss. To this end, a conical blank produced from a single rectangular unwound section is transversely cut from a larger, web-shaped flat structure that has two parallel straight web edges (10, 12). The blank has two identical arched separating edges (14, 16), and the outer edge of the two straight longitudinal edges (12) of the ribbon section is glued. The invention further relates to a planting pot with an inverted dome shaped bottom (22) from the tapered end of the blank shaped using heat and pressure, and with a flange-type edge (24) from the widening end of the blank shaped using heat and pressure.

Abstract: In order to avoid the poor root penetration and poor decomposition characteristics of a planter (FIG. 1)—consisting essentially of a coconut fiber fleece material with a fiber binding agent—if a known airtight deep-drawn dry fleece with latex as the impregnating binding agent is used, the invention proposes as material an air-permeable dried wet fleece (FIG. 2) whose holes permit unimpeded penetration by roots and that can be biologically decomposed without problems.

Abstract: A spool sleeve consisting of several interconnected layers formed by webs, wherein a recess in an inner layer contains an appropriately shaped transponder having a weight that is approximately equal to that of the web material removed to create the recess so that any imbalance of the sleeve with the transponder therein embedded is avoided.
