Issues
to consider at planning stage are: 1. Minimum soil disturbance 2.
Covering disturbed soil with temporary vegetation, organic matter or fabrics 3.
Stabilizing soil with soil binders 4. Improving soil structure 5. Obtain
soil survey to help understand nutrient values, water filtration rates, sediment
loss and possible toxicity. Many
restoration sites have little or no topsoil to cover prospective green areas or
are faced with importing quantities of topsoil at great cost to the contract.
Topsoil is aged
and weathered subsoil SEEDERS TO INDUSTRY
can't supply the years but can establish vegetation on subsoil using one of the
many mixes which help to kickstart production of topsoil. Considerable savings
can be made. A
number of our hydroseeding mixtures are specfically desgined to assist protection
of soil against erosion by wind and water. |
