By Harold Harris


The problem of spoil wearing away can be a massive problem and it can be expensive to sort. It can easy but costly to prevent soil being washed away. Erosion control blankets can be a good way to slow down the flow of water from the area where there is a problem of soil being washed away.

These products are able to cover the slopes in an effective way and this certainly is the case in areas where there is a heavy flow of water and where there is a susceptibility to erosion. These product are usually made from substances which are biodegradable for example coconut or straw. These products are made from woven materials and they are meant to slow down the water flow rates on the slope that needs to be protected.These products are available in a range of sizes.

After you have purchased the product it is actually very easy to install. There is one consideration that you should be aware of and that is that you should make sure that the water moves on top of the blanket or it will not work in the correct manner. To install the product correctly you need to dig a small channel on top of the slope. Use the blanket to the line a trench for the water to use. Fold one edge under the blanket and secure it in place using staples.

Using these can help to provide an element of soil protection and help vegetation establishment upon the slopes and channels to allow for slow water flow where the base ground seedlings and loose mulch are not ineffective. This type of product will last for about a year and a bit longer in some cases.

In some cases the erosion blankets make a perfect temporary solution when you need to protect and stabilise the soil from being washed away. Protecting the soil from being washed away will reduce the amount of compact and crusting in the soil which increases the infiltration. These products can also help to assist in the retention of water in the soil.

These blankets can also be used as a way to help to protect the seeds from predators and reduce the amount of desiccation whilst promoting evaporation through the insulation of the seed environment and the soil. Despite the various other uses these do tend to be mainly used on soils that are prone to erosion.

One of the main benefits of these blankets is they can help to provide immediate stability for the soil to prevent erosion and it will be able to provide fantastic cover for at least one year. Prior to the blanket being installed allow time to ensure that the ground is smooth so that it is able to lie flat on the surface.

Make time to do the preparation correctly as this will make all of the difference when it comes to how effective it works. Make sure that the soil is flat and that the product is also flat. The blanket can be secured using stapes. It can rather costly when it comes to installing the product as it can take a long time to get all the required work done.
