Calibrate a 600-gallon hydroseeder for HP-FGM®, ET-FGM™, BFM, EFM™, Base Mulch and Biotic Soil Media™ using specified mulch mix rates, tank loads and application coverage in square feet and square meters. Guidance walks through selecting an application rate, determining area covered per tank, and staking a calibration rectangle by dividing known area by measured slope length to find width. Instructions then outline loading the correct number of bales, applying slurry evenly from two directions, and using the resulting plot as a visual reference for desired rate per acre, with users responsible for final suitability.
Key Points
- Provides mulch mix rates, loads per 600-gal (2,271 L) tank and corresponding coverage areas for HP-FGM, ET-FGM, BFM, EFM, Base Mulch and Biotic Soil Media.
- Explains how to calculate a calibration rectangle by measuring slope length, dividing tank coverage area by that length, and staking the resulting width.
- Details step-by-step hydroseeder calibration, from selecting an application rate to loading the required number of bales and applying slurry until the tank empties.
- Emphasizes spraying slopes from two different directions for more even coverage and notes that users are responsible for determining suitability of information and materials.
