Fertiliser

Unlike typical fertilisers, Hydro-Fertilisers have unique properties that have been exclusively designed for Hydroseeding applications. Hydro-Fertilisers deliver immediate slow release NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) to promote and accelerate growth in emerging grass plants.

Before choosing your fertilizer, it is important to take random soil samples from the job site and send the samples to a professional soil-testing lab for analysis and nutrient recommendations. The soil test will determine soil pH, fixed nutrient levels in the soil and will identify if there is any soil contamination. If soil testing is not done, a starter fertilizer that is high in Phosphorus should be used to help the new seedlings establish rapidly. Hydroseeding UK can conduct soil sample tests as part of our solution to clients. Please get in touch for more details.

Phosphorus is an important nutrient to be aware of when planting new seeds. In particular, contractors should be aware that there are some locations that have laws limiting or prohibiting its use, so this should be taken into account.

The application process is simple. Fertiliser is simply added to the hydroseeding mixture and is applied as part of the hydroseeding process. Hydro-Fertilisers like those used by Hydroseeding UK are specially designed to provide young seedlings with the necessary nutrients they require to establish strong root mass.
