What is hydromulching?

Hydromulching is a technique that combines water, mulch, and seeds to establish vegetation, primarily used for erosion control and land reclamation. This method involves mixing a slurry of seed, mulch, and water, which is then sprayed onto the soil surface. The mulch helps to retain moisture, protects seeds from erosion, and provides a favorable environment for germination and growth.

This approach is particularly beneficial in areas where traditional planting methods may be less effective, such as steep slopes or disturbed lands. By ensuring soil stability and promoting plant growth through hydromulching, it plays a critical role in preventing erosion and enhancing biodiversity in rehabilitated landscapes.
