AEC Premier Straw Wattles are tubular products consisting of the finest available agricultural straw fibers encased in durable netting. The straw fibers are Straw_wattles_along_curbcertified weed seed free. Straw wattles are dense by nature, thus they pool water unlike Curlex Sediment Logs that allow water to filter through its porous matrix. AEC Premier Straw wattles may be placed across channels bottoms, but their primary use is on hillslopes to break up slope lengths and slow overland flow.
Curlex excelsior blankets are specifically designed to promote ideal growing conditions for grass seed, while simultaneously protecting top soil from wind and water erosion. Curlex excelsior blankets have long passed the test of time. By design, Curlex blankets have a built-in swell factor - wet curled excelsior fibers expand in thickness and interlock to form a strong, fiber matrix. This allows the fibers to provide intimate contact with local terrain. Water flow is trained to follow the curled fiber matrix. The roughness of the curled excelsior matrix slows the velocity to a point where gravity takes over, which allows moisture to slowly seep into the topsoil to promote ideal growing conditions. Curlex blankets consist of unique softly barbed, interlocking, curled Aspen excelsior fibers. They are weed-seed free. Curlex blankets are available with a variety of environmentally sensitive and/or stronger netting types to match job site requirements.
