HYDROSEEDING & HYDROMULCHING

Hydroseeding & hydromulching projects are complex with factors like slopes, soil types, climate, mulch, tackifiers, and seed varieties. Following manufacturer rates, proper application methods, and suitable mixtures ensure effective cover on steep areas.

Presentation Transcript

  1. HYDROSEEDING & HYDROMULCHING

  2. Successful hydroseeding & hydromulching projects can be very complex with different slopes, soils, soil amendments, climate, amounts & types of mulch, tackifiers, & seed (both cover crop & final species mix) to be considered.

  3. On slopes could be a two or three step process: first pass can be seed, soil amendments, water, fertilizer, etc. to ensure good seed-soil contact. Second pass can be blown straw or not, then second/third pass a hydromulch/tackifier blend. Always follow manufacturer’s recommended application rates. Shoot mixtures in at least two opposite directions (no shadows or bare spots).

  4. Hydroseeding & Hydromulching can be very effective for fast cover on disturbed & steep areas, Many stream projects have had good results with wood-based Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) or Flexible Growth Medium (FGM)

  5. Looking good - less than 5 weeks after hydroseeding, mix of 10 lbs #/acre of Riverbank Wildrye, (Elymus riparius) 5 lbs #/ac Creeping Bentgrass, (Agrostis stolonifera) 5 lbs #/ac Annual Ryegrass, (Lolium multiflorum) Aug 10, 2005

  6. PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF SELECTED HYDROSEED/HYDROMULCH MIXES Flexible Growth Medium is the strongest!
