Abstract

A study to investigate both the effects and establishment costs of two hydromulches and four mat mulches indicated that both types of material provide similar herbaceous coverage. Mat mulches, however, are much more expensive and would, therefore, not be feasible except on small sites, sites that are too remote and too far from a water supply for a hydroseeder to operate efficiently, and sites where concentrated water runoff is a problem.
