Installing Biolags as an Erosion Control Alternative
At 2:35 in
Erosion Control and Silt Fence
What happens here
As an alternative to traditional silt fences, especially in areas where trenching or driving stakes is difficult, biolags are presented. These are long, fabric-encased cylinders filled with a material (likely wood chips or compost). The video shows biolags laid directly on the ground. The presenter advises staking the biolags on the downward side to prevent them from washing away during heavy rain. He mentions that some might drive stakes directly through the biolag, but he prefers to avoid ripping the fabric. The ideal long-term erosion control method is emphasized as re-establishing vegetation.
Goal: Deploy biolags effectively as an alternative erosion control measure.
Tools and materials
- Biolags — Cylindrical fabric rolls filled with organic material for erosion control
- Stakes — Used to secure the biolags
