German term or phrase: Beetpflanzung
"Eine solide Verarbeitung, welche höchsten Qualitätsanforderungen entspricht, sowie die durchdachte Baukastenkonstruktion ermöglicht die Auswahl zwischen verschiedenen Gebläsegrößen, Anhängersystemen, Regelarmaturen, Düsen und somit eine optimale Abstimmung auf den jeweiligen Einsatzbereich (Engpflanzungen, Weinbau, Beetpflanzungen und hohe Rundkronenbäume)."

A Beetpflanze is apparently a bedding plant, but there seems to be no such thing as a bedding plantation (or even a bed plantation), so I'm lost. TIA for any light you can shed on yet another highly obscure botanical word.

agree  John Speese: I too would say bed planting; spinach, for example is grown that way, in long beds made in the field with special equipment.
