Hyrdoseeding for Erosion Control
Hydroseeding is the process of spraying a combination of a biodegradable fixative, a fertilizer and a seed over large areas through what is essentially a huge hose. This processes short term goal is to spread a seeding material over large spans to grow a plant, typically a grass. However, this also has a very well intended side effect.
The placement of the fixative, over the short term, and the growth of the matrix like plant is an extremely effective erosion control method. Both gravitational and wind erosion are nearly completely defeated by this simple and visually attractive solution. It is time efficient and, seeing as how most construction sites would have to sod any given dirt plot eventually, it prevents any reallocation of dirt and quickly accomplishes a task that would normally be a pain staking and labor intensive process entailing the unloading and unraveling large rolls of pre-grown grass. It is both time efficient and, quite honestly, fun for the whole family.
