What is Hydro Mulching?
From Wikipedia.org
Hydromulching (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydroseeding, hydraseeding) is a planting process which utilizes a slurry of seed and mulch. The slurry is transported in a tank, either truck- or trailer-mounted and sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer.
Mycorrhizal Fungi has remained relatively unheard of except for a few serious organic gardening buffs and erosion control professionals, even though it has been around since creation.
Whether global warming is the cause of climate change or not, recent extreme weather events are an observable fact. There is no doubt they have put additional pressure on coastal environments.
A large proportion of the Australian population and many parts of the world live in coastal communities and so coastal erosion is a major concern.
Each year several locations on the Australian East coast suffer from major damage from Tropical Cyclones. The Gale force winds whip up furious Seas and massive tidal surges. Sometimes several metres deep of sand can be stripped from beaches and foreshores in only hours.
The old-fashioned method for repair was making vast rock walls or groynes extending for several hundred Metres along the beach. Also sand pumps would attempt, often with little success, to pump the sand back onto the beach.
Modern techniques are now being used with greatly improved success rates. Eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable materials ensure that the cure is not worse than the problem.
Our global ecosystem is home to earth’s entire collection of living organisms and the habitats in which they live. Biodiversity forms part of the earth’s ecosystem and is short for biological diversity, a term used to describe the whole variety of life on earth.
