Sand and hydrogel seed covering improves germination of serveral hardwoods in a soil that crusts

Soil, sand, and sand plus hydrogel were tested as seed coverings in a silt loam soil that crusts when dry. Plum and dogwood established best under soil. Chokecherry, crabapple, and juneberry established best under sand. Honeysuckle, buffaloberry, cotoneaster, and lilac established best under sand plus 1.8% hydrogel. Covering made no difference for Russian olive.
