What is a hydro seeder and how does it work?

A hydro seeder (hydroseeder) sprays a slurry mixture of seed, water, mulch, and fertiliser onto bare ground to promote rapid grass or vegetation establishment. It's faster and more effective than hand sowing on large or sloped areas.

Do I need to supply the seed and mulch for hydro seeding?
