Abstract/Contents: | "Briargreen's test plots show that hydroseeding provides a stand of grass approximately 25% faster than mechanical or hand seeding. . . .in the hydroseeding process the seed is bathed in a solution of fertilizer, which is held close to the seed by the wood fiber mulch. When sprayed on the ground the wood fiber mulch helps create a greenhouse effect speeding germination and providing germination for the seed. . . . There are four basic parts to the hydroseeding mixture: mulch, seed, fertilizer, [and] additives - soil binders (liquid & powder) and moisture retention agents." The cost of hydroseeding is about $1700/acre. |
