Technical Data

• Primary Compnent

  • Cellulose

• Time to Degrade

  • 3 to 8 months depending on application rate and bio activity in the soil

• Density

  • 1 g/ccm (8.3 lbs/US gall)

• Form

  • Thick Paste (Concentrate that needs to be diluted)

• Time to set

  • about 15 minutes

• Time to dry

  • about 1 hour

• Time to Cure

  • about 1 day (The film needs to dry completely for it function)

  • Curing happens by water evaporating, no chemical reactions happen

How to Use it

• Typical Dilution Rates

  • LM = Liquid Mulch

  • From 1 part water to 1 part LM to 3 parts water to 1 part LM

  • Always add water first

  • Mix thoroughly and until smooth

• Typical Application Rates

  • Application rates are calculated based on concentrated LM not diluted values

  • From 0.5 Kg/sq m (0.9 lbs/sq yard) to 3.0 Kg/sq m (5.5 lbs/sq yard)

• Water watering systems and hydro seeders to apply LM

• Do not use herbicide spray systems

  • Herbicide spray systems will clog

Performance

• Weed reduction

  • Unoversity of Guelph Study

  • Cornell University Study

• Water Conservation

  • University of Guelph Study

• Improved seed Germination

  • About 2% to 5% more seeds germinate likely due to water conservation in the soil
