This is one side of the stream bank, severely
eroded and with potential to continue failing. |

This is the first layer of “geogrid”,
a plastic mesh that will photo- decompose in a few years after the
embankment has become established. This covers a layer of TRG (trap rock gravel), small ½” to ¾”
gravel set down as a base for this project. |
|
|
This is the first “compost sock”, a round mesh tube that
is filled with compost (no soil or animal products). The final socks that
are installed are mixed with grass seed. |
|
|
This is the geogrid pulled up around the first sock and is secured
with wire staples. Additional layers of geogrid and compost socks are
installed until they reach the desired height. |
|
|
This is compost being applied behind a compost sock and used as
backfill and as stabilization for the next layer of compost socks. |
|
|
This is the final product. You can see 3 compost socks running the
total length, and a fourth sock that runs half the length. The compost
backfill and final socks are mixed with grass seed and should germinate in
10-14 days. We will monitor this site and post additional photos as they
are received. |
