Excel Fibermulch II provides an organic cover to protect seeds, enhance germination, and hasten revegetation when mixed with water and applied with hydraulic mulching equipment. Excel Fibermulch II fibers are a nutrient from nature that add organic nourishment to the soil. It is a free-flowing product that allows for a uniform mix, which creates a “blanket-like” effect to aid in the germination process. Excel Fibermulch II is available with optional Dri-Water Hydro MixTackifier and/or green tracer dye.
