Slopemaster is a seed mixture specifically designed for erosion control where rapid establishment is a necessity with little follow up maintenance. Slopemaster features the durable white clover Durana which is a medium-leafed, intermediate type white clover containing as many as 97 stolons per sq.
How do you use Pennington Slopemaster?
Spread the seed evenly using a drop, rotary or hand-held spreader according to the spreader settings. Rake gently to work your seed into the soil. If the slope is heavy, use an erosion blanket or straw to hold the seed in place while it’s establishing. Keep the soil moist!
What is a soil tackifier?
Tackifiers are used as “glue” to bind and immobilize straw, cellulose products, pine needles, or other mulch that has been applied to a seeded area. Tackifiers protect seedbeds by holding the product to the soil surface and preventing movement.
How do you use a tackifier?
Use anywhere you need to “tack” down seed, straw or mulch, or to control dust and erosion. Works great for revegetation and restoration projects, fire rehabilitation, landscaping and beautification. M-Binder may be applied as a dry powder or as wet slurry to dry or wet surfaces. It may even be applied during rain.
What is Hydroseed tackifier?
Hyrdoseeding is applying a slurry of water, wood fiber mulch, seed and fertilizer to prevent soil erosion and provide an environment conducive to plant growth. Hydromulching is applying a slurry of water, wood fiber mulch, and often a tackifier, to prevent soil erosion. These terms are often used interchangeably.
What is in hydroseeding?
Simply put, hydroseeding is a technique that spreads a specialized grass “slurry” evenly over bare ground to grow grass and prevent soil erosion. This slurry is made up of grass seeds, mulch, water, fertilizer, biostimulants, and occasionally green-tinted dye.
Do I need a tackifier?
Applications Of Soil Tackifiers
If they do not get properly covered and treated, they will be at risk of significant erosion, which could wreak havoc on the construction project. This is where tackifiers are ideally used—temporary areas that need additional anti-erosion assistance.
What is tackifier made of?
Hydrocarbon resins are the most popular tackifiers. They are produced mainly from petroleum-based by-products of naphtha crackers. The three major types are C5 aliphatic, C9 aromatic, and DCPD cyclo-aliphatic resins. They are sometimes hydrogenated to reduce discoloration and to improve their heat and UV stability.
What is soil tackifier made of?
M-Binder. M-Binder is a botanical glue used as an aid in hydroseeding, to stabilize soils, and for dust control. M-Binder is unsurpassed as a tackifier setting the standard for the industry since the early 1970’s. It is 100% organic, made from the Plantago (Plantago ovata) plant.

When should chemical stabilizers be reapplied?
Inspect chemically stabilized areas regularly for signs of erosion, and if necessary, reapply the stabilizer. In general, the effectiveness of polymer stabilization methods ranges from 70 percent to 90 percent.
Will Hydroseed wash away?
When we Hydro Seed a lawn we do everything we possibly can to make the seed adhere to the soil. It is very important that your soil is loose at the time of Hydro Seeding so we can aim our nozzle straight down and penetrate the seed into the soil. This will ensure there is a bond so nothing washes away.
Do you need to water after hydroseeding?
After the lawn is first Hydroseeded, allow the mulch to dry before watering. (Usually dry by the next day.) During the first two weeks, water all areas every day keeping area slightly moist to speed up germination. Water 10 to 20 minutes per section, twice a day, if possible.
How much does a Hydroseeder cost?
Homeowners can expect to pay between $500 and $4,000, or an average of $1,000, for hydroseeding a typical 5,000 to 10,000 square foot lawn. Hydroseeding averages between $0.06 to $0.20 per square foot or $2,000 to $4,000 per acre.
Does Hydroseed have fertilizer?
Your newly hydroseeded lawn has all the requirements for a healthy start – a blend of premium certified grass seed, a quality starter fertilizer, and a protective layer of mulch to conserve moisture.
