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 materials 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.
MOUNTING THE HYDROSEEDER
®
:
For speed and mobility of operation, the HydroSeeder
®
should be mounted on a truck or trailer, however, it is
important to select a carrier with sufficient capacity to handle the added weight.
