| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses five possible problems with incorrect hydroseeding. States that one possible problem is uneven germination. Also states that "contractors looking to cut costs will often skimp the seed mulch used during the hydroseeding process. The result is inconsistent coverage and little islands, or pockets, of soil. A solid hydroseeding job is incumbent upon proper coverage and equipment calibration." Suggests that "inconsistent coverage can also stem from poor application processes." States that another possible problem is dark green surface. Notes that "part of the prepwork involves breaking up compacted loam, or surface soil, to create an inviting seed bed for germinating turf. However, if the loam remains compacted, the slurry seed, mulch and tackifier may appear dark green, whereas it should appear lighter green on a properly prepared surface." Explains a third possible problem of undesired vegitation. Mentions that "with hydroseeding [one is] creating and environment - mulch, fertilizer, water - that's perfect for waking up these weed seeds and get them to germinate." Informs that "hydroseeding is commonly employed as an erosion control method." |
