Available in both a polypropylene and cotton outer netting the socks are a high-performance alternative to traditional erosion control material such as straw wattles and silt fences.

Silt socks are easier to install than the traditional methods and require less maintenance over time.

About Compost Filter Socks To Control Water Runoff

Soil erosion can happen due to many reasons such as natural forces, urban construction, and heavy traffic. Rain as well as wind and physical disturbances can create erosion as well as water runoff. Although you cannot prevent all forms of erosion, there are steps you can take to cutback on the damage caused by erosion while encouraging the growth of roots. One of the best ways to control water runoff is using compost filter socks.

Compost Filter Socks

Compost Filter Socks are also known as silt socks and usually chosen for landscaping and gardens. These socks are mesh tubes filled with composted wood chips, bark, or other similar materials. These socks are designed to allow for maximum filtration. These socks are very effective for filtering water runoff and controlling sediment loss. These compost socks are heavy-duty so they can perform very well even under the most extreme conditions.

In areas known for the high flow of sediment, these socks will stop sediment runoff. Although they are not particularly attractive for gardens or landscaping, they are very effective.

Filter socks are installed on downslope areas where erosion and sediment control is seriously needed. Compost filter socks have also been used instead of silt fences, in paved areas, close to sensitive trees, or frozen ground. These socks are great alternatives if you don't want to spend your time digging trenches or disturbing the ground in areas where established vegetation is present.

Applications

Filter socks are commonly used for water diversion, slope interruption, for perimeter control, an excellent alternative to silt fences, and ditch check which is a temporary dam created across a drainage ditch, channel, or other areas of concentrated flow to decrease the acceleration of water.

If you want to take control over the movement of stormwater and rain, compost filter socks will slow down, interrupt, or divert water. It will redirect water away from areas where a lot of damage could take place or cause erosion to the soil. Compost filter socks can reduce the speed that water runs down a sloped bank and will help with erosion control.

For other waters including ponds and rivers, compost filter socks can stop steep banks from ending up in the water. Filter socks are great for land stabilization. Placing these socks along a channel to create a retaining wall can help new growth or vegetation.

As moving water is known to carry sediment, filter socks will help to control water runoff and sediment erosion. If you are building up a new area for your garden or landscaping, you should use compost filter socks to create a good boundary. They will trap and retain sediment and water while preventing damage.
