5.2 Vegetation to Manage Erosion – Hydro-seeding (2.0)

Summary

This guide covers hydro-seeding which can be used to rapidly establish a vegetation cover, to protect exposed soil from sheet and rill erosion. It can also be used as a stabilisation tool to minimise sediment entering water. A mixture of water, seed, fertilisers, organic binders and mulch is sprayed onto the surface to be vegetated.
