. •, <br />Application of Mulch Anchoring Methods <br />1. Manufactured Mulch Nettings <br />follow manufacturer's instructions; however, the following <br />minimum specifications must be met: <br />A. Mulch netting vrill be pulled hand tight over straw. <br />B. Mulch netting will be held firmly in place. (U-shaped <br />metal pins are commercially available from mulch net <br />manufacturers for this purpose. They are usually made <br />of 8 gauge wire and are six inches or longer, in length.) <br />Pin spacing will be not more than 10 linear feet. If the <br />soil is sandy or otherwise exceptionally loose, use longer <br />pins and wooden stakes, as needed, to firmly secure netting. <br />2. Asphalt <br />Either of the following asphalt products may be blown on with <br />the straw, or sprayed or sprinkled after the straw is spread: <br />A. Liquid asphalt - rapid curing (R.C. 1,2,3) or medium <br />\ curing (M.C. 2, 3). Liquid asphalt is cut back with a <br />l kerosene-like product and can be applied in freezing <br />weather. Normal rate of application is 0.10 gal/sq.yd. <br />or approximately 500 gal/A, <br />B. Emulsified asphalt - rapid setting (R,S. 1, 2), medium <br />setting (M.S. 2) or slow setting (S.S, 1). Emulsified <br />asphalt contains approximately 50 percent water and <br />should not be applied in freezing weather. PJormal <br />rate of application is 0.04 gal/sq.yd, or approximately <br />Z00 gal/A. <br />Note: <br />Rapid setting (R.S.) is formulated for curing in approximately <br />24 hours even under high humidity conditions. Medium <br />setting {M.S.) is formulated for use in spring and fall <br />and approximately 24 hours curing time. Slow setting <br />(S.S.) is formulated for use during dry, hot weather with <br />approximately 24 hours curing time. The higher the <br />number in the formula, the heavier will be the resultant <br />residue. <br />i~ <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />
