What is the Difference Between Hydro-Seeding & Hydro-Mulching?

 

Although both Hydro-Seeding & Hydro-Mulching are methods to revegetate areas to improve growth success, they are different. The biggest difference is the addition of a growth medium during the application process.

 

Hydro-seeding is advanced method of quickly applying water, seed & fertiliser to a large area. Results are often improved with a tackifier. Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a stand-alone tackifier that can be used without the addition of mulch.  Water$ace Hydro-Tac assist in holding the seeds in place during their germination period. This reduces seed loss while improving water filtration & the physical properies of the soil.

 

Hydro-mulching is the application of water, seed & fertiliser in combination with a growth medium (eg paper pulp, sugar cane or straw mulch). A binding agent is often needed to stabilise the mixture. Water$ave Hydro is a blend of polymers specifically designed for Hydro-mulching. Water$ave Hydro when added to the blend, acts as a binder that helps the mulch bind together & stay in place while the seeds germinate. Water$ave Hydro is a scientifically advanced way to revegetate compared to other methods including direct seeding & drill seeding. It can also assist in revegetating difficult to access areas.
