Hydroseeding in Huntly

Open ground in Bendigo's north

Huntly is a growing township north of Bendigo, with new homes going in on flat, open former farmland.

With little shelter, yards take the full force of hot northerly winds, and weeds blow in from the paddocks around them.

What we recommend for Huntly yards

• Weed spraying before seeding
• Tackifier and a heavier mulch rate on open ground
• A heat-tolerant blend for full-sun yards
• Spraying in autumn or mid-spring

Stopping the dust and weeds

Bare soil on an open block turns to dust in a hot northerly and fills with weeds after the first rain. Hydroseeding covers it with a layer of mulch and tackifier on the day we spray, which holds the soil down while the grass grows through. If you can't seed yet, we can spray a mulch-only cover to keep the dust down until the weather suits.
