Soil Stabiliser Seed (BL10)

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR SOIL EROSION CONTROL ONLY – NOT LAWN or GENERAL LANDSCAPING

The quickest and most cost effective way to stabilise temporary or permanent soil piles, banks and bunds is to establish a deep rooting cover crop of grasses which both protect and bind the surface together. Any soil stabiliser seed mixture must be capable of holding a recently disturbed earth surface in position to minimise erosion with the fast development of leaf matter and an extensive root system. With this in mind we have put together a carefully selected blend of known fast growing and deep rooting grass species, plus a little clover for additional surface stability as a natural erosion control product.
Annual Westerwolds grass works first by quickly germinating and developing a strong but temporary root structure. Tall Fescue does a similar job to Westerwolds but is a perennial species so its roots are permanent. Cocksfoot is the only grass species to grow its root longer each season so has a significent long term stability effect from the second season, Strong fescue does the main job of holding all the other plant and root structures together plus the additional small percentage of white clover assists the fescue with its tap root and binding rhyzome development.
.
Sow Soil Stabiliser Seed at 10 to 20 grams per sq/m and if possible, firm the seeds into the surface in any way you can, to anchor them into postion as grass seed floats so is likey to wash away in heavy rainfall if left loose on the surface.
