Discover precision planting with drill seeding at Hydromulch Solutions
Drill seeding offers several advantages, including improved seed-to-soil contact, reduced seed wastage and better utilisation of resources. Hydromulch Solutions are proud to be the Australian Agent for Belco Resources Equipment, a leading U.S. wholesale farm, landscape and light industrial distributor.
How does our conservation seeder work?
Drill seeding is an agricultural technique that proves highly effective in cultivating and preparing the soil to create an optimal seedbed. This method involves the use of specialised equipment designed to perform multiple functions seamlessly. As the seed drill moves across the field, it not only prepares the soil but also drops and lightly covers a variety of seeds. This dual action not only saves time but also ensures a uniform distribution of seeds for improved germination rates.
The seed drill is equipped to mix in fertiliser or other necessary additives, addressing specific soil requirements and providing essential nutrients for the seeds. This integrated approach enhances the overall fertility of the soil, contributing to the successful growth of crops.
An additional advantage of drill seeding is its ability to achieve an impressive 80% coverage of grass, aligning with council specifications and regulatory standards. This high level of coverage not only meets guidelines but also contributes to the development of a lush and healthy crop.

Benefits of Drill Seeding
Drill seeding offers a comprehensive approach to planting that addresses various aspects of crop establishment, contributing to improved efficiency, resource utilisation and overall agricultural sustainability.
-
Precision Planting
Drill seeding allows for precise placement of seeds at a consistent depth and spacing, ensuring uniform distribution across the field with no row effect. This precision promotes optimal seed-to-soil contact and enhances germination rates.
-
Fertilisation Integration
Our modern drill seeders are equipped to fertilise the soil simultaneously with seed planting. This integrated approach enhances nutrient availability for the emerging plants, promoting early growth and development.
-
Time and Labor Efficiency
The mulch in the hydromulch mixture acts as a moisture-retaining agent. It helps to retain water in the soil, reducing evaporation and providing a more consistent water supply for newly germinated seeds and developing plants.
-
Seed or overseed in all conditions
Our machine will seed into all conditions, including primary seeding into prepared ground or overseeding into existing vegetation.
-
Reduced Seed Wastage
Unlike broadcast seeding methods, where seeds are scattered over the soil surface, drill seeding minimises seed wastage. The controlled delivery of seeds helps maximize the use of each seed, leading to cost savings for farmers. Being neither a grain drill nor a PTO driven seeder, the Greenscape effectively prepares the soil, drops and lightly covers the seed, and then firmly presses the soil for a perfectly prepared seedbed. It is designed to achieve a perfect pattern across the working width of the machine; no row effect as with drills or knife type overseeders.
