Abstract: A method for revegetation or remediation of a land surface in which a layer containing selected seed, mulch and nutrients is applied to the land surface. More specifically, the layer applied contains grain seed, grass seed or both and the rate of seeding is preferably 100 lbs/acre or more. The method preferably includes after-care steps in which growth stimulating or growth maintenance compositions are applied to the land that has been seeded using the layer application.

Abstract: Dried compositions in the form of sheets or rolled sheets which contain viable seeds for application to land surfaces for generation of vegetation on the land surface. The dried composition provides the benefits of use of hydromulch techniques in landscaping and revegetation applications, but does not require the on-site use of hydromulch spraying equipment and avoids excess labor requirements for after-spray clean-up. The dried compositions are mulch compositions containing viable seed and, preferably containing fertilizer, which are formed into sheets which may contain one or more layers or coated layers. Exemplary mulch layers are formed from a mixture of paper and clay which may be provided as magazine stock. The fibrous material can be dried plant material such as hay, straw, dried grass or wood fiber. The seed mat may be formed by adding the fibrous material to a hydromulch containing viable seeds and forming a layer by one or more spraying applications which is dried to form sheet.
