A method of repairing an erosion control apparatus comprising:
- detaching a cable connecting at least one fiber roll of a plurality of fiber rolls from at least one helical anchor extending to a position below the plurality of fiber rolls positioned on a slope;
- coupling the at least one helical anchor to a rotational drive;
- actuating the rotational drive to rotate the at least one helical anchor from a first depth to a second deeper depth below at least one of the plurality of fiber rolls to position the at least one helical anchor more deeply into the slope;
- and
- connecting the at least one more deeply positioned helical anchor to at least one of the plurality of fiber rolls with the cable or a further cable.
