Benefits of technology

[0010]The present disclosure specifically addresses and improves upon the prior art. In this regard, the present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for eliminating or substantially reducing soil erosion and preparing an appropriate seed bed, while eliminating the need for expensive additives, such as fertilizer. As an example of the present disclosure, aqueous solution and organic materials, such as that produced when methane is removed from green manure, is combined in one form with a tackifier and seed, distributed on the surface of the soil under consideration. It is to be understood that inventive material could also be provided in dry form, such that the liquid could be applied at the time of application of the material.

Problems solved by technology

Prior art products, however, are of limited effectiveness and often do not provide the desired degree of soil erosion resistance.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for preventing or substantially reducing soil erosion, while simultaneously creating a seed bed and broadcasting seed. With regard to the composition, it is to be understood that raw or green manure is fed to a digester to extract methane gas, and the resultant waste product, or sludge, provides the organic component of the present inventive composition. The present inventive composition includes the waste sludge from the digestive process, and a polymer tackifier can be used in one form to assure adhesion between the particles and the desired seed to be germinated. It is to be understood that for purposes of consistency and predictability the waste or sludge must be dried to a certain point, for example 6% moisture, such that the formula may be carefully constructed.

[0015]The resultant composition could be either in a dried form and packaged such that it can be liquefied to the desired concentration at the time of...

Abstract

This disclosure relates to soil erosion and the establishment of an appropriate seed bed. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a composition applied to exposed soil wherein the composition comprises organic material produced when the methane is burned from green manure and dried. This organic material combines seed and a liquid carrier, such that the substance can be hydraulically applied to the desired area. Fertilizer or other nutrients are often added to the mixture to further enhance the product and to encourage growth.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. Ser. No. 11 / 865,448, filed Oct. 1, 2007, which claimed priority benefit of U.S. Ser. Provisional No. 60 / 827,649, filed Sep. 28, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]This disclosure relates to soil erosion and the establishment of an appropriate seed bed. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a composition applied to exposed soil wherein the composition comprises organic material produced when the methane is burned from green manure and dried. This organic material combines seed and a liquid carrier, such that the substance can be hydraulically applied to the desired area.[0003]The application of soil erosion inhibitor in combination with a seed is known, and the typical formulation includes organic material, such as waste paper, sawdust or other fibrous products in combination with a liquid carrier, a cellulose product or binder and seed. The particular formulation of these materials will vary, dep...
