Hydro HM – cellulose mulch

HYDRO HM – mulch – is a composition of cellulose fibers from wood and paper with a uniquely selected diverse structure of long and short fibers, which provides excellent “reinforcement” of the surface.

HYDRO HM is used to cover the terrain surface using hydroseeding technique to create suitable conditions for the protection and development of grass seeds.

Mulch forms a layer on the soil surface preventing soil erosion, washing out, blowing away of seeds and organic substances. It maintains the appropriate moisture necessary for the grass seed germination process. Additionally, the mulch creates a layer that significantly limits weed growth. The mulch’s properties of “reinforcing” the soil surface are used to strengthen slopes and embankments, especially in hard-to-reach places.

Over time, the mulch biodegrades, supplying the soil with essential organic substances, which are a basic soil-forming factor.

Mulch for hydroseeding – DOSAGE:

flat terrain 900 – 1200kg / ha
slopes and embankments 1500 – 1800kg / ha

PACKAGING:

plastic bags – 15kg

NOTE: the amount of mulch used depends primarily on the terrain shape and soil category. An important factor influencing the amount of mulch used are also weather conditions such as excessive sunlight, too low or high temperatures. In these cases, it is recommended to follow the experience of specialists performing hydroseeding.

One of the methods for greening lawns, heaps and other surfaces is hydroseeding. It involves covering hard-to-reach places for other seeders with hydromulch. Mulch is a wet mixture of shredded wood and cellulose fibers, a composition of grass and flower seeds, appropriate fertilizers and biostimulants, as well as a special substance to bond the mulch to the substrate. All of this is spread over surfaces to be seeded.

This can be done in three ways:

using nozzles called hydroseeders.
using special hydraulic installations
using an airplane.

Relatively inexpensive and most commonly used are hydroseeders, which spray mulch through nozzles under pressure. On the surface, the substance sets enough to optimally fulfill its role.

Main tasks of mulch

Preventing soil erosion. Seeds and soil form a compact whole, not washed away by rain. Nutrients remain in place even on steep slopes.
Maintains the proper moisture needed for germination of grass and other plants. On uneven terrain, the appropriate amount of water is retained where it is most needed.
Additional reinforcement of the terrain, so important for slopes and embankments. Mulch prevents soil fragments from sliding off.
Mulch, often dyed green, can positively affect the aesthetics of the area before plants germinate.

After completing its role, cellulose mulch biodegrades, allowing organic substances to enter the soil, further enriching it. The biodegradation time and type of absorbed soil components depend on the original mulch composition.

Mulch – main types

Cellulose mulch. Commonly used for small areas, characterized by short durability. Most often used on flat surfaces and slightly sloped slopes. Quickly biodegrades.
Wood mulch. Retains moisture longer. Dense, mixed with bonding substance, it is used even on steep slopes. Its biodegradation is slower.
Mixed mulch. Has all the good features of cellulose and wood mulch. Very universal and suitable for most hydroseeders.
Granulated cellulose mulch. Cellulose granules have low volume and are suitable for small, lightweight hydroseeders used for seeding small areas.
