Just shows the amount of work going on underground

Just shows the amount of work going on underground. Heavy metal laden soils, arsenic, lead,cadmium etc in high concentrations with a pH of almost 9 on old tailings of a historic lead mine. ProGanics, Flexterra and specialist amendments have produced this result in 4 weeks, stimulating growth, soil activity and starting to lock metals up. #rootbeforeshoot #erosioncontrol #flexterra #proganics #biochar #ongoingproject

Working directly for the Environment Agency yesterday repairing flood protection embankments - spreading topsoil to build up levels, herbicide treatment (2 weeks beforehand) stripping vegetation and hydromulching using DLF’s MeadowMax seed mix, ProMatrix EFM @ 4500kg/Ha -to keep the soil in place on the ramps with the impending heavy rain.

Hydroseeding 1Ha of slurry lagoon bunds, using low maintenance amenity seed with small leaved white clover at 500kg/Ha, Enviroblend mulch at 1000kg/Ha, triple NPK soluble fertiliser and tackifier. A cost effective approach to vegetating a difficult site, resulting in a low maintenance area that won’t leave the farm looking untidy with unsightly or noxious weed from poorly vegetated banks that would be difficult to cut. #hydroseedingpro #hydroseeding #specialistseeding

Lovely to see our teams hard work establishing nic

Lovely to see our teams hard work establishing nicely near Swindon, much more to do here but so far they’ve installed almost 700 linear metres of pre-planted coir roll, pre planted coir pallets, brushwood faggots, standard trees and wildflower hydroseeding. Safe to say in a years time, this stretch of canal will look like it’s always been here!

Early 2019 season flailing on these power station

Early 2019 season flailing on these power station sites. These areas were previously hydroseeded by ourselves with grazing mixtures and selected wildflower mixtures in key areas - works started for us here almost 15years ago! Flailing at this time of year is being used to both encourage growth in some areas, but scalp others prior to bird nesting season as these locations may be disturbed in the next few weeks. #hydroseeding

Winter germination due to the high residual soil t

Winter germination due to the high residual soil temperatures and mild air - it’s all set to change this week with a colder spell on the way. When temperatures drop, seed will remain dormant and protected if hydromulched properly using the correct products, if not the seed could rot and fail in the spring. #hydroseeding #germination #winter

Large @aqualawnuk installation of hard wearing lawn and wildflower embankments for a regular customer. Overseeding of paddocks and an orchard as extra works too. Safe to say, we have a happy customer! #hydroseeding #wildflower #aqualawn

What a difference a couple of years make. Combined #hydroseeding and conventional seeding used here to create great open spaces for the public and residents to enjoy!

Ongoing sensitive canal restoration work, being carried out by OBL for an important client. Multiple phases over the winter of 2018/19 are currently in progress & this project will see completion in early summer 2019 with #hydroseeding and planting of thousands of wetland plugs.

Germination and establishment after 14 days at Wra

Germination and establishment after 14 days at Wrangle Sea Bank. 20Ha of #hydroseeding and 4Ha of conventional seeding to flat areas. The second photo shows why cleat marks in this direction are bad for soil loss and erosion pre seeding - tracking up and down embankments helps slow water run off and reduce soil losses. #Flexterra HP-FGM in this instance reduces soil losses by 99.9% and avoids washout
