- MULCH~G for EROSION~ONTROL <br />on NEWLY SHAPED SLOPES <br />N <br />0 <br />N <br /> <br />~~:1.`,. <br />., <br />:`~-_ <br />. •. . <br />. ,, <br />J <br />,~ <br />+~ <br />Straw mulch is frequentlg and success- <br />fully used and ie readily available. <br />Clean grain straw, free of noaions <br />weeds, is recommended. It should be <br />uniformly spread over the seeded area <br />at the rate of one hundred pounds per <br />1000 sq. ft. It can be applied by <br />hand as shown on the right. The <br />straw should be held in place on the <br />slopes by "punching" or ^tucking^ <br />with a spade, as shown at lower left, <br />or by fiber netting as shown on <br />lower right. <br />~' i., <br />`,~' I';. <br />i,{ I \ <br />_~ ~ ~~r` 11 ` A I <br />. r~ I __ <br />'C ` ~.H <br />- A_ \t' 95~~' <br />~~ ~ .4..

OEPARfMENT OF AGRICULTURE, SOIL CON6ERVATION 6EINICE <br />Bare, unvegetated slopes resulting <br />from road and driveway construction, <br />housing developments and other types <br />of construction on sloping lands, <br />map erode at an alarming rate. <br />Erosion and sediment from these areas <br />damage home lots, highways, drainage <br />systems, bottom lands, water sup- <br />plies and reservoirs. Hare areas <br />should be vegetated as quickly as <br />possible. Mulch aids in establishing <br />good vegetative cover and provides <br />temporary erosion control until suf- <br />fi.cient plant cover developes. <br />~1\ Y~',. <br />j, ~ ( .]] <br />I' ~~l'~~t~+ l~~ f.rr~l~i <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />$CS PXOI~ ]~SJ]I .IS <br />11.. ~ .` `- - ~ .. ! <br />7' .~J~~~ .' f `. . ~.t . <br />SCS PxOiO 1.]]90.1 <br />7-L-14000-226 <br />SCS P+OiO ]-5]]0-] <br />
