Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a planting process that hydraulically spraying seeds through high-pressure hose. It is normally done in large areas or places that are difficult to plant, such as slope, golf courses, reclaimed area, landfill area, stone mine, temporary greening and highway for soil erosion control. During hydroseeding, seeds, stabilizers, mulch fibers and fertilizer are mixed to form seeding slurry. Then the seeding slurry is applied onto the treatment surface through a hydroseeder pump. Below are the brief procedures :
- Site clearage
- Spraying seeding slurry by hydroseeder
- Placing protective mat on top of the sprayed surface
- Seed sprouting within 2- 6 weeks
- Vegetation normally forms after 3 months
