Enter the Modified One Step Method (1SMM). With the 1SMM, initial batching is limited to water, fertilizer and seed, with a trace amount of fibermulch for enhancing visual feedback of the coverage. Mixing these components into a slurry this way maximizes their use in the given capacity of the machine, and broadcasting happens over a larger area more quickly. The modification to the 1SM is in the secondary and subsequent batches of fibermulch and tackifier only, that layer over the first application of water, fertilizer and seed. The secondary, layered introduction of mulch and tackifier minimizes the opportunity for seed soil disturbance, a condition easily generated, or aggravated, by the slurry mass of 1SM applications.

1) Seed and fertilizer are batched to maximum machine capacity.

2) Broadcasting happens over a larger area more quickly.

3) Layered application approach minimizes seedbed and soil disturbance.

3) Layered mulch and tack overspray reduces the opportunity for slumping during application.

4) Overspraying disperses water requirements over a larger area, reducing the formation of puddles and rilles.
