Hydroseeding and mulching for establishing vegetation
Abstract. On bauxite mining spoils in central Greece three replicate field trials, with (a) hydroseeding, (b) plus straw mulching, (c) plus plastic net fixing and (d) plus asphalt fixing, were executed and vegetation cover, number of plants and biomass production measured during three consecutive years. It was found that hydroseeding alone gave poor results but slowly improved with time.
