Product Overview
Designed to enhance germination and prevent erosion. Specifically, this erosion control blanket has single netting and is quicker to degrade than other blankets. When wet, the wood fibers expand to form a strong matrix that can hold up to 100 times its own weight in water. Then, absorbed water is available to the soil and plants as needed. These erosion control blankets provide ideal conditions for grass seed growth.
