fertilizer and shall allow the absorption of moisture and
rainfall to percolate to the underlying soil.

of the fertilizer, seed, and slurry of prepared wood pulp shall
be of the "super hydro—seeder type as approved by the
Landscape Architect.
C. APPLICATION: The operator shall spray the area with a
uniform visible coat by using the green color of the wood pulp
as a guide. The slurry shall be applied in a sweeping motion
in an arched stream so as to fall like rain allowing the wood
fibers to build on each other until a good coat is achieved and
the material is spread at the required rate per acre.

within four hours after mixing will be rejected and removed
from the project at the Contractor's expense.
