Item All you need to know about community gravel beds(2013) Busiahn, Jacob; Peterson, SeanA gravel bed is an irrigated bed or pile of gravel to place and safely hold bare root or washed containerized stock for (a.k.a. “heeling in”) up to 3-6 months. A Community Gravel Bed is a system that has been in use at commercial nurseries, municipalities, and universities for over 20 years. Building one for your community can provide many advantages over planting traditional bare root, balled and burlapped, and containerized stock.Item A Guide to the Construction and Management of Community Gravel Beds(2021) Johnson, GaryThis thorough guide walks the reader through the planning, construction, implementation and management of gravel bed systems for bare root tree transplanting.
