Abstract
An application for a substrate for mixing with other ingredients such as water, seeds, fertilizer, wetting agents and dye, to produce Hydroseeding slurry. The substrate includes cellulose materials (e.g. cardboard, paper and/or wood) and an absorbent. In one embodiment, the absorbent is material known as diaper fluff that is created during the production of products such as disposable diapers. The absorbent or diaper fluff improves moisture retention, improves viscosity and reduces friction, improves coverage of the hydroseed mixture.
Claims9
A Hydroseeding substrate comprising:
- up to 99 percent by weight ground cellulose;
- up to 99 percent by weight ground cardboard;
- up to 99 percent by weight ground paper;
- and
- at least 1 percent by weight and less than 10 percent by weight of ground diaper fluff, the ground diaper fluff comprising an absorbent selected from the group consisting of cellulose pulp, linear polyacrylamide, polymers, superabsorbent polymers, copolymers of acrylamide, and polymers;
- the ground cellulose, the ground cardboard, the ground paper and the ground diaper fluff combined together and constituting a hydroseed substrate are mixed with water and seed to form a hydroseed slurry.
