ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a light weight seeding sheet consisting of a flexible reticulate sheet, such as plastic mesh or burlap cloth, permeable by blades of vegetative crops, a bonding agent applied to one side of the reticulate sheet holds a uniform distribution of particles of fertilizers, seeds, and other plant growth additives in pre-measured amounts per unit area of the reticulate sheet. Seeds, fertilizers, and other chemical additives may be covered with a water soluble or a water dispersible parting means, such as a tissue paper or a water soluble polymer film. The parting means prevents sticking of the bonding agent to the unseeded face of the reticulate sheet when the light weight seeding sheet is wound into a roll. Because the light weight seeding sheet thus constructed does not contain any fillers, it is very flexible and may be easily cut to shape, is light weight, and simplifies planting. Many rolls of the sheet sufficient to cover large areas may be easily transported.
