Abstract:
1. A method for constructing or rehabilitating a marsh or wetland comprising the steps of: inserting a propagatable material into liquid or slurry to form a mixture; spraying the liquid-propagatable material mixture from a spray nozzle over a marsh or wetland area desired to be rehabilitated; and channeling the propagatable material into a container; wherein the spraying step comprises placing the container downstream of a pump and upstream of the nozzle, and using the pump to eject the mixture; wherein the container is in fluid communication with an aperture in a hose extending between the pump and the nozzle; wherein the propagatable material-inserting step comprises drawing the propagatable material into the hose by means of a vacuum created at the aperture by fluid being directed from the pump to the nozzle; wherein the propagatable material is inserted via a tube extending between the hose aperture and the container; and wherein the tube meets the hose aperture at an angle that is adjustable for affecting a rate of the propagatable material being drawn into the hose.
