Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a planting process that uses a slurry of seed and mulch. It is often used as an erosion control technique on construction sites, as an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed.
The hydroseeding slurry is transported in a tank, either truck-mounted or trailer-mounted, and sprayed over prepared ground. Helicopters have been used to cover larger areas. Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. A study conducted in the United States found that hydroseeding could be used to restore vegetation in cleared land. The slurry often has other ingredients, including fertilizer, tackifying agents, fiber mulch, and green dye
Originating back to the USA in the 1940s, Maurice Mandell from the Connecticut Highway Department discovered that by mixing seed and water together, the resulting mulch could be spread and sprayed over the steep and otherwise inaccessible slopes of the Connecticut expressways.
