INSTRUCTIONS
(1)Project Size is based on total Acres receiving mulch
(2)HydroSeeder Working Capacity is how many gallons of water it takes to fill your tank
(3)Load Time is based on how long it takes to fill your tank with water, mulch, seed, and fertilizer. HydroStraw All In 1 Bonded Fiber Matrix bales load faster than wood bales allowing you to add more mulch in the same amount of time
(4)Application Time is the amount of time it takes to spray your entire tank
(5)Travel Time For Water includes the amount of time to travel from your job site to your water source, and then back to your job site. Do not include the time it takes to fill your tank
(6)Application Rate is determined by how many pounds are applied per Acre of Hydraulic Growth Medium
(7)Application Rate is determined by how many pounds are applied per Acre of Wood BFM
(8)Application Rate is determined by how many pounds are applied per Acre of HydroStraw All In One

Biological Nutrient Package at rate of 5000 lbs / Acre delivers:
| 50 Units Nitrogen / Acre 50 Units Phosphorus / Acre 50 Units Potassium / Acre | This natural fertilizer feeds the newly developing plants and the beneficial bacteria. |
| Mycorhizae Fungi | In severely disturbed soils mycorrhizal has likely been destroyed. Adding Mycorrhizae improves symbiotic relationship between the fungus and the plant. This increases plant growth, improved fitness, and increased root absorption area of nutrients. |
| Beneficial Bacteria | Beneficial bacteria, soil microorganisms, designed to restore the native microbial population in the soil, which enhances the natural organic processes that occur in nature’s ecosystem evolution. |
| Wheat Straw | Hydro Straw’s patented wheat straw processing allows us to provide a porous mulch matrix thus allowing maximum water infiltration into the soil. The porosity of our matrix allows newly germinating plants to penetrate the matrix resulting in increased erosion control benefits. Hydro Straws wheat straw is an ideal home for the initial beneficial bacteria and later a valuable food source for the microbes and the developing vegetation. |
