Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best! A DirtBag is simply a Biodegradable jute bag, filled with rich soil-less growing media and native seed. Dirtbags provide immediate temporary erosion control with the jute fabric, ultimately the goal is for the growing medium to support the establishment of health vegetation - Healthy vegetation is the best form of erosion control and bank stabilization. DirtBags will support the germination and establishment of native seed and also are very effective in aiding the establishment of Native wood species like Willows in riparian settings.
Applications
Steep slopes Willow stake establishment Prairie wave erosion locations Shorelines rivers & creeks Drainage courses & bioswales Constructed wetlands Disturbed or eroded areas Storm Water Ponds Watershed management Silt fencing
Installation & MAINTENANCE
Installation is easy, efficient and requires no machinery on site. Because DirtBags are contained within the biodegradable packaging there’s no need for site cleanup. DirtBags are hand placed and after the initial installation minimal upkeep is required.
DirtBags are 28cm x 51cm x 7.5cm and each bag weighs approx 4.5kg. DirtBags are shipped palatalized (100 per pallet) and have a shelf life of 3 days to preserve seed viability and ensure successful germination.
