Abstract
This disclosure relates to soil erosion and the establishment of an appropriate seed bed. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a composition applied to exposed soil wherein the composition comprises organic material produced when the methane is burned from green manure and dried. This organic material combines seed and a liquid carrier, such that the substance can be hydraulically applied to the desired area. Fertilizer or other nutrients are often added to the mixture to further enhance the product and to encourage growth.

- b. a binder;
- c. a seed;
- d. whereby the composition is operatively configured to be sprayed upon a surface, preventing erosion and establishing a seed bed, and wherein the sterile manure is 10% to 30% by weight, the seed is 60% to 85% by weight and the binder is 2% to 15% by weight.
