What
is hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding uses a high-pressure hose to broadcast seed evenly over
a large area. Seed is mixed with a mulch-like material to keep it moist
and in place. Hydroseeding is a good choice for large lawns or areas with
steep slopes or hard-to-reach spots. Hydroseeding requires hiring a professional.
Advantages
and disadvantages
Hydroseeding requires less irrigation than conventional seeding methods
and produces a more uniform stand. However, the cost of planting is somewhat
more expensive than conventional methods.
