Hydrocompost

What is Hydrocompost?
Hydrocompost enhances soil fertility and structure on a large scale by utilising a mixture of composted organic materials and water. This process creates a nutrient-rich slurry that can be easily applied to various landscapes, promoting healthy plant growth and supporting ecological restoration efforts. Hydrocompost is especially beneficial for large projects, as it facilitates the rapid establishment of vegetation and improves soil conditions in areas that may be degraded or lacking in essential nutrients.
How Can Queensland Revegetation Group Help
We use our very own specifically developed hydrocompost,
Hydroganics, and hydraulically apply it to various landscapes using our state-of-the-art hydroseeder. Our hydroseeder is one of the largest in SEQ and can cover up to 10,000m² per day. By leveraging advanced hydroseeding technology, we can quickly and uniformly distribute Hydroganics, making it ideal for large-scale applications such as agricultural fields, construction sites, and erosion control projects.

What is Hydroganics?
Hydroganics hydrocompost is an organic compost mixed with water alongside site-specific determined components identified during an initial site assessment. This assessment allows us to tailor the hydrocompost formulation to address specific soil deficiencies and improve overall health. By customising the blend, we ensure that the mixture not only enhances soil fertility but also aligns with the ecological needs of the area, promoting optimal plant growth and soil health.
Advantages of Hydrocompost
All of the below advantages create the ideal environment to support the growth of plants, particularly in environments that experience dryer than normal conditions. Advantages include:
- Erosion Control: Hydrocompost effectively binds soil particles, significantly reducing sediment runoff and soil erosion in various environments.
- Assists Topsoil Formation: Hydrocompost, rich in organic matter, contributes to the formation and enrichment of topsoil. Introducing beneficial microorganisms and nutrients also enhances the soil's fertility and structure.
- Improves Water Retention: The organic components of hydrocompost encourage slow evaporation, keeping the soil cooler and allowing it to retain moisture more effectively.
- Requires Minimal Surface Preparation: Unlike traditional composting methods that often require significant groundwork or soil amendment before application, hydrocompost can be applied directly to the surface.
