Hydroseeding Mystery Material and Shrub Fertilization

Identifying the Green Spray Material

The green powder-like paste applied to your neighbor's lawn is likely a hydroseeding slurry—a mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier sprayed as a liquid. Without direct experience with this method, specific product identification isn't possible.

Fertilizing Bushes and Shrubs

Before applying any fertilizer, check with your local agricultural advisory agency or reputable nursery for regional regulations.

Recommended Fertilizer Ratios

• General shrubs: Low first number (nitrogen) formulations like 2-10-10, 6-6-6, or 8-10-10
• Flowering shrubs: 4-6-8 formulation supports bloom development

Low-nitrogen fertilizers promote root development and flowering without excessive vegetative growth that requires frequent pruning.
