MULCHING for EROSION ~NTROL <br />on NEWLY SHAPED SLOPES <br />,~ <br />-.;.rs. ;~ ai-- <br />~>~- Y ~ ~ ~~~~• <br />.~ <br />acs r..r. ~-sssP-s <br />e <br />N <br />N <br />0 <br />i <br /> <br />Strax mulch is frequently and auccess- <br />fullp used and i-s readily available. <br />Clean grain strax, free of noaions <br />k~eeds, is recanmended. 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 />strax should be held in place on the <br />slopes by "punching" or "tucking" <br />xith a spade, as shown at loxer left, <br />or by fiber netting as aho-.m on <br />loxer right. <br />;, <br />..( <br />-, ~ <br />-_~ `'! . <br />acs r..ra s-s.a-. <br />V.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE <br />Bare, unvegetated slopes resulting . <br />from road and drivexay 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, highxays, drainage <br />systems, bottom lends, xater sup- <br />plies and reservoirs. Bare 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 />ficient plant cover developes. <br />rd-/9'~Y <br /><~ <br />y ~;±~,~ <br />,r, .. •. <br />L Wes'.:' -~_~ G:Yi ~ t.~ ~~ ~ -. <br />acs r•. r. s-v.o-r <br />7-L-14000-226 <br />.~s ..... ~-~.,I.r, <br />
