Hydroseed Mulch Scroll DOWN & CLICK FOR VEGETATION, EROSION & SEDIMENT categories
- Hydraulic Mulch consists of a range of products made up of different fibre types used in the application of hydroseeding. These fibres are made up primarily of three different fibre sources;
We offer: FibraMulch (Paper), HydroStraw (Straw) and Rainier Fiber (Wood)Paper (cellulose); paper mulches are made up mostly of recycled newsprint and provide a cheap mulch source that is suited to short term cover such as landfill daily cover operations. Paper is also used for flat turf applications and short term revegetation projects.
Straw (Bluegrass/wheat/cotton/flax); Straw provides a longer term cover and is reasonably priced and has excellent C:N ratio's as well as easy loading and increased volumes. Pump/hose blockages, moisture retention, weed seed and mixture separation issues are common in cheap brands if not processed properly. Good for poor soils and quick establishment.
Wood fibre; Wood is the premium long term and high erosion protection fibre source, be aware of huge quality issues between different wood sources and processing techniques. Ground wood provides a consistent cheap, shorter wood fibre, where as thermally refined wood fibre provides a longer fibre length and greater moisture holding capacity. Wood comes in standard and advanced formulations.
Fibre Blends; The most common fibre blend is 50/50 paper and wood providing a cheap mulch with decent moisture holding and erosion control properties. New on the market are a few blends being advertised as cotton straw and cotton fibre, untested in our market, this blend was determined to contain much less of the cotton fibre than advertised. Should be avoided until it is better understood.
Biotic Earth; A blend of mostly straw with Canadian peat moss. this blend was developed not as an improved hydroseeding mulch but as a soil amendment and seeding process.
