Abstract
An erosion control slurry is disclosed. The slurry includes water and a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises: mulch at a weight of x; bentonite clay at a weight of about 0.25x to about 0.495x; and cellulosic water dispersible polymer or starch at a weight of about 0.0025x to about 0.125x. Also disclosed are a substrate that can be mixed with liquid to provide an erosion control slurry, and methods of controlling or reducing erosion.
Claims18
A slurry comprising water and a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises:
- mulch at a weight of x;
- bentonite clay at a weight of about 0.25x to about 0.495x, wherein said bentonite clay is selected from the group consisting of sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite, and combinations thereof;
- and
- cellulosic water dispersible polymer or starch at a weight of about 0.0025x to about 0.125x.
A substrate that can be mixed with liquid to provide an erosion control slurry, the substrate comprising:
- mulch at a weight of x;
- bentonite clay at a weight of about 0.25x to about 0.495x, wherein said bentonite clay is selected from the group consisting of sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite, and combinations thereof;
- and
- cellulosic water dispersible polymer or starch at a weight of about 0.0025x to about 0.125x.
A method of controlling or reducing erosion of a surface, the method comprising:
- preparing a slurry by mixing, with water:
- mulch at a weight of x;
- bentonite clay at a weight of about 0.25x to about 0.495x, wherein said bentonite clay is selected from the group consisting of sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite, and combinations thereof;
- and
- cellulosic water dispersible polymer or starch at a weight of about 0.0025x to about 0.125x, and
- applying said slurry on the surface.
