hydroseeding grass

On the part of hydroseeding grass looks even more absurd, as if people paint the grass for the arrival of some important official. In fact, during hydroseeding not spray paint and a special mixture with the addition of dye. After spraying, it becomes almost ideal medium for the germination of seeds of lawn grass. To this mixture are:

• Lawn grass seeds;
• Harmless dye;
• Mulch cellulose or sawdust or straw;

• hydrogel;
• Fertilizers;
• Additives for improving soil structure;
• A fixer which connects all components of the solution.

After some time (depending on the setting time mulch from several hours to two days) application of the solution space is covered by a crust which securely packs seeds. They transcend and strong wind, and heavy rain.

This is an important benefit of liquid lawn before seeding. But there are other advantages:

• The seeds and fertilizer are distributed evenly on the surface sowed, lawn rises smoothly without bare spots;
• Seeds germinate quickly and grow too fast;
• Provided high quality seed germination guaranteed high;
• Once all the seeds are soaked in the mixture, which not only speeds up germination, but also protects against diseases and a variety of pests;
• Liquid lawn is easy to apply on steep slopes, the waterfront and areas with difficult terrain;
• Liquid lawn can be sown on clay and sand;
• It takes much less preparatory work in comparison with the traditional lawn. In general, it is easier and faster.

Many cottagers, accustomed to save your nerves, time and money hydroseeding grass seems more attractive option than the traditional method of creating a lawn.

Home hydroseeding: Soak seeds in the tub, add mulch, fertilizer, paint, let to stand day. And all this a lot put on the prepared surface. But no! We are ready to dig themselves with shovels, nibble this land, to drag-leveling. Mocks himself for getting a piece of grass.

Here's my green roof. The facade still under construction but the roof turned green. Sow hydroseeding.

This technology involves and the ability to sow grass difficult sections. And there are two ways:

Invite a specialist with his technique. The cost depends on the complexity of the terrain. Below are 2018 prices.

Materials for the simple case (flat area with fertile soil): 8-15 thousand. rub;
Seeds 4-12 thousand. rub;
Water 0-4 thousand. rub;
Work (for a simple site) are different, the range of 10-25 thousand. p, depends on the ten factors. Total: 22-55 thousand. rub. Complex areas with steep slopes, inaccessible, exhaustion and saline in the treatment significantly more expensive. The final price can reach up to 250-300 thousand. rub.

And you can own hands to make a simple device for hydroseeding the lawn of small appliances and garden equipment, which is already in the farm.

Hydroseeding own hands

All liquid lawn seeding technology can be divided into three stages.

The dye in the mixture should be sure to add: This allows you to see how it is applied evenly on the area, and if left untreated areas.

While the young lawn grass not sprout, watering planting is not necessary. The hydrogel in the solution introduced just to moisten the soil as soon as it is needed. A clay crust, which grabs the solution will maintain the desired climate.

But after the emergence of fresh lawn should be watered daily for two weeks. On the day that will be held rain, watering is not necessary. Two weeks later, the liquid lawn must turn into a smooth emerald lawn.

This technique works very well for repairing lawn bald spots for sealing formed by waterlogging, trampling or freezing.

How to make a liquid formulation for the lawn

Let us dwell on the composition of grass. You can buy ready-made: manufacturers make them especially for liquid lawn. You can make your own. Here is a sample of the liquid composition of the lawn of the solution required to sowing area of ​​100 m².

• 2 kg of seed. About, how to select seeds of grass, Recounts an article on Forumhouse;
• 2-3 kg of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers and bio-stimulants. It depends on soil fertility;
• 4-12 kg mulch. At home, use chopped straw or sawdust;
• 100 grams of the hydrogel;
• 300-600 gram gluten (clays);
• 60-100 liters of water.

How to prepare a solution for hydroseeding

The solution was prepared as follows: first, in a large container water is poured, it is poured seeds and food coloring (So ​​much so that the solution became clear green), then fertilization, then stimulants (and, if necessary, herbicides) mulch hydrogel. Clay is added last.

The better stir the mixture, the higher the quality of the lawn.

Therefore it is desirable to mix a special nozzle for a drill, and ideally all mixed into a small cement mixer (of course, its pre-purified).

Ready mixture should stand for several hours, it is best if she would stay up all night to the seeds had to be fed with moisture and fertilizer.

I have many friends who used hydroseeding and they all went on Hurray!

Summarizing

Despite the obvious appeal of a home hydroseeding, our experts recommend to think about it, before it resolved.

Hydroseeding justified but, like any procedure, has limits effective application. To work on the slopes above the rate of mulch (if you use the same mulch), and, in general, the requirements for mulch mixture on slopes slightly different.

This method is still more efficient for larger areas than the small suburban areas. But, if the composition of the lawn complex consists of several grass evenly it works out that hydraulic seeding.

Liquid lawn - is, first and foremost, a way to evenly sowing the seeds of the chosen site.

Hydroseeding - a simple and effective method to ensure that the land was precisely the composition of the seeds, which he conceived a specialist.
