Moisture absorption factor 9 times its dry weight (900%)

Retains humidity in the soil and the trapped air beneath it

Slows discharge of water

Excellent at reducing soil erode-ability

Resists temperature and wind extremes: any areas such as semi-desert, sand dunes, alpine regions, where the rapid drying actions of the wind and/or sun makes establishments of vegetation difficult

Promotes and protects healthy growth of vegetation

Biodegrades within the proper time scale

Poses no future problems for farmers, horticulturists or maintenance teams

Protects against rain splash erosion and wind erosion

Moderates extremes of temperature

Protects against direct sun and parchedness

Can be laid on any uneven surface

Removal is not necessary, as wattles are typically left in place permanently to biodegrade

Extremely flexible, lightweight, easy to shake and can be installed quickly

Minimum amount of labour to install

Cost of the erosion product is very competitive with other erosion products on the market

Only material cost and installation labour no removal or disposal costs

100% natural and biodegradable
