WHOLESALE EROSION CONTROL PLANTS
Erosion Control Plants are an important aspect in controlling erosion by wind and water. Erosion control plants help stabilize the soil and minimize the effects of erosion.
Caused by both natural and man made conditions, plants that can help slow down and even reverse the damage caused by wind, rain, soil degradation and other causes are increasingly important.
Plants that are quick to establish good root systems as well as providing protection from wind and water are important.
Many prostrate or low growing plants are very successful,these spreading ground cover types are usually very hardy and make a useful technique to help stem erosion.
Plants that provide protection for lower growing plants are also important, they allow the lower growing types to establish themselves more readily, providing another useful control method.
It is the cover given by foliage as well as the way soil is bound together by the root systems and rhizomes of plants that make erosion control effective.
Plants such as the Dianella species and cultivars seem to be particularly suited. Some introduced plants are also effective, however the problem of invasiveness and weed control needs to be strictly monitored with some species.
