In recent years, we’ve grown wiser to the perils of soil erosion and are doing all in our power to curb this serious threat. As we develop a better understanding of how soil erosion works, coir products appear to be the best way to combat this detrimental process. Here’s why coconut fiber erosion control products have emerged as the go-to choice of professionals these days.
1. Durability:
The best thing about coir-products is that they’re incredibly durable. This can be attributed to the fact that they’re made from coconut fiber which has been cured in water. Owing to advances in soil engineering, we can now produce coir-based erosion control products that last between 6 and 24 months, which makes combating soil erosion a relatively simple task.
2. Easy to Install:
Speaking of simplicity, coir-based products have also surged in popularity because they’re relatively simple to install. Most coir-based erosion control products like coir wattles and coir mats can installed and removed in a few minutes which makes it the ideal solution for farmers in a hurry.
3. Abundance:
Although synthetic products are great at stopping soil erosion, they come with the caveat that they harm the environment in numerous ways. And as we’re trying to preserve the environment, we simply cannot opt for an erosion prevention products solution that poses a threat to the environment itself.
On the other hand, coir products are made from coconut fiber which is a byproduct of the coconut industry (an abundant, natural and completely reliable resource).
4. Biodegradability:
As far as controlling soil erosion goes, you simply cannot compromise on biodegradability. This is because as erosion control products approach the end of their useful cycle, their gaps become saturated, which means that they do a poor job of anchoring the soil.
On the other hand, a biodegradable erosion control product automatically decomposes once its advertised lifecycle is over. Furthermore, once a biodegradable erosion control product starts to decompose, it enriches the soil with useful nutrients that increase its fertility. So, any way you look at it, it’s a win-win!
5. Affordability:
At the end of the day, it all comes down to economics. You can propose the perfect solution to a particular problem but people will simply walk away from it if they can’t afford it. The same holds true for erosion control products too as they need to be affordable and efficient at the same time.
After all, nobody is willing to pay for a soil erosion control solution if it costs them thousands of dollars and a few hundred more to install. This is where our range of GeoNatural soil erosion and sediment control products comes into the picture.
