EXPRESS BLOWERExpress Blower equipment increases the ease and effectiveness of installing erosion control blankets and sediment control berms. Express Blower equipment’s long-range capabilities make large and remote sites accessible and manageable. The blown-on application ensures that the blanket or berm contours exactly to the soil surface for 100% contact. Using its exclusive Supplemental Injection System, add grass or wildflower seed to the blanket or berm for permanent vegetative support.www.expressblower.com
JRM CHEMICALJRM Chemical’s linear anionic polymers (PAM) are available in powders, emulsions, and tablets to reduce soil erosion and treat turbid water. They are also used as a tackifier with mulch and straw. Low application rates of 4 ppm or less will reduce turbidity in discharge water and reduce suspended particles and colloidal solutions. The crosslinked polymers (SAP) hold moisture and are used as an amendment when planting trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Crosslinked polymers reduce plant waterings by 50%, last 3 to 5 years in the soil, and are ideal for remote plantings.www.soilmoist.com
