Single or double lyocell netting based biodegradable erosion control blanket

Abstract

An erosion control blanket includes one or two layers of lyocell netting and a biodegradable substrate of natural fibers such as formed of one of straw, coconut fiber, excelsior fiber and mixtures thereof. The biodegradable erosion control blankets 10 and 10′ are appropriate for any bare soil area where temporary protection from raindrop and wind erosion is needed, or where newly seeded grass requires short-term cover and support prior to germination, early growth, and full establishment. Erosion control blankets are generally effective for slopes up to 1H:1V
