Farm Plastic Supply - Jute Erosion Control Matting

Description: Stop Erosion and Rain/Runoff on Shallow Slopes and Channels with our Jute Matting!Jute Matting is used for temporary erosion control as protection from rainfall/run-off on shallow slopes and channel protection for low risk/low flow channels. Jute matting is the original form of erosion control blanket. Jute is basically burlap rope and therefore 100% biodegradable over time depending on the amount of moisture available. The matting conforms to slope contours and surface irregularities. Thousands of tiny “check” dams per square yard stabilize the surface soil on slopes. Easy to apply and excellent for road, drainage, landfill and backyard slopes.Jute Matting Benefits & ApplicationsBenefitsPrevents soil erosion from rainfall, stormwater sheet flow, & channel flowRetains moisture in soil to promote seed germination and plant growthEngineered with a leno woven natural netting to prevent wildlife entanglementPromotes Re-Vegetation Soil StabilizationBiodegradable and Photodegradable ApplicationsSlope StabilizationSoil ReinforcementSupport in ChannelsLand Restoration ProjectsSlope or Channel Erosion ControlSlopes up to 2:1Low flow channelsBare ground seedingFrequently Asked Questions About Jute Matting:What Is Jute Matting Used For?Jute Matting is used to stabilize soil when used in conjunction with grass seed. The jute matting lasts 3 years before it even starts to degrade, depending on the thickness and type of material used it could take longer which is plenty of time to produce good grass that resists erosion on that slope. The materials in this product are biodegradable and photodegradable, which means that they will decay over time rather than become something that is permanent and be a fixture on the slope. How Do You Install Jute Matting?To install Jute Matting you must first remove any large rocks or other impediments from the slope before you begin. After seeding, completely cover the area with a layer of straw or other organic mulch. Dig a trench at least eight inches deep and six inches wide at the top of the seeded area. Begin laying the Jute matting up unrolling down the slope. Fold the top end of the matting into the trench and backfill to secure. If it is necessary to begin another downhill roll to cover the seeded area, repeat utilizing a second trench following the same procedure. Make sure the ends of the first row overhang the second row by at least four inches when starting the second row in the trench; proceed as before. Tamp down the soil in the trench until it's level with the surface after you've covered the entire area with matting. If not using a second trench allow the first row to overlap the second row by 3 feet. Anchor Pins or Staples spaced one foot apart across the top and bottom of the matting and along downhill overlaps are used to secure the jute. Every five feet, anchor the sides and vertical overlaps. At least 6 inches of anchor pins or staples are required. Longer pins could be needed in sandy soils. To drive the pins entirely into the ground, you might need to use a mallet. What Is Jute Matting Made From?Jute is one of the oldest and most widely used fibers on the planet. Because of its golden and silky feel, it is known as the "golden fiber". Its made from the bark of white Jute Plant and is completely natural and biodegradable.
