Seed Aide® - Cover Grow
Seed Aide® CoverGrow™ is an advanced technology pellet made from recycled wood and cellulose fibers. Once applied and activated by water, the pellets quickly expand and disperse to provide outstanding protection and water-holding performance right where it’s needed—whether you’re spot treating smaller bare spots, or hydrospraying larger areas, CoverGrow is the easy and convenient way to establish vegetation.

Hydroseeding
Applied by hand or spreader or through a hydroseeder, CoverGrow provides:
DIRECTIONS
Hydroseeding:
Strictly comply with manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommendations. Use approved hydro-spraying machines. Do not exceed maximum slope length of 35 feet (11 m) when slope gradients are steeper than 4H to 1V.
Add 60 pounds (27 kg) per 100 gallons (379 L) of water along with seed when hydroseeding; confirm loading rates with equipment manufacturer.

Broadcast Spreading:
Strictly comply with manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommendations. Prepare or rake the soil, spread the seed and apply
CoverGrow. Recommend 36'' drop spreader with a fixed rate plate. You may also spread by hand for spot or patch seeding. Do not exceed
maximum slope length of 25 feet (7.6 m) when slope gradients are steeper than 4H to 1V.

(Only apply to stable slopes that have been designed to divert water flows away from the face of the slope, therefore eliminating surface-flow energy from above from damaging the slope face.)
