Hydroseeding
is becoming a popular means of planting grass due to its relative
ease of use and effectiveness. Hydroseeding is a process by which
seed, water, fertilizer, fiber mulch, and sometimes lime are blended
together in a tank and applied onto a prepared lawn area through a
spraying hose. Once sprayed, the wet fiber mulch will help create a
bond to the soil and provide the seeds with a water retaining
blanketing-coat while protecting it from sunlight, wind, and
erosion. As the grass seeds begin to germinate, the fiber mulch will
slowly decompose adding nutrients to the soil
Advantages of Hydroseeding
-
If you are planting a relatively large area,
hydroseeding can be completed in a very short period of time.
-
Hydroseeding can be very effective for hillsides
and sloping lawns to help with erosion control and quick
planting.
-
Hydroseeding will typically cost less than
planting with sod, but more than regular seeding.
-
Results are often quick with high germination
rates producing grass growth in about a week and mowing
maintenance beginning around 3-4 weeks from the date of
application. Fiber mulch accelerates the growing process by
maintaining moisture around the seeds thereby increasing the
rate of germination.
