DEFINITION OF HYDROSEEDING
Hydroseeding is the process whereby seed, fertilizer and/or lime, and wood fiber mulch (using water
as a carrying medium) are applied on the soil to establish vegetation.
THE FINN HYDROSEEDER
®
AND HOW IT WORKS
The FINN HydroSeeder
®
will apply seed, fertilizer and/or lime, wood fiber mulch, or stabilizing mate-
rials in any prescribed or desired combination. The materials placed in the HydroSeeder® slurry tank
are mixed with water and kept in suspension by a dual-agitation process, recirculation of slurry and
mechanical agitation, thus, forming a slurry that is pumped to the discharge assembly and directed
onto the seed bed by the operator. This equipment is designed to accomplish hydroseeding in one
easy operation with maximum efficiency.
