Hydroseeding and Hydromulching are two (Hydro-) seeding techniques. However, they don\u2019t resolve the same kind of problems and use different materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydroseeding is a technique that was invented by Charlie FINN in 1953 in the USA. This \u201cseeding\u201d technique allows for the implantation of herbaceous vegetation on big areas, without soil preparation and\/or on areas with difficult access (like slopes or stockpiles). Hydroseeding is viable on areas where the agronomic quality of the topsoil in place is of medium to good quality. Hydroseeding is a \u2018superficial\u2019 way of seeding, with the seeds not being \u2018covered\u2019 totally. Therefore, it\u2019s recommended to perform the operation exclusively during the seeding season favouring germination (just before the rainy season) and by doing so lit limits the risks of seeds being washed out by rain or blown away by wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydromulching however is an advanced technique that uses the principles of Hydroseeding. This specialist application was developed during the 90-ies in the US but was rapidly introduced in Europe as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydromulching responds to a number of very specific constraints like :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why Hydromulching combines seeds with a fibre compound (mulch) and soil conditioners.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hydromulching allows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydroseeding and Hydromulching are two connected techniques. Each of them however responds to a different set of constraints and use different consumable materials under specific application rates. This has a direct impact on daily machine productivity on the jobsite and on the budgets for vegetation implantation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So what is Hydroseeding ?
