Would this mulch be good for prevention erosion on a steep bank?

It's just straw. Very nice straw, but it could easily blow away or wash away. It worked really well on the bare space in front of my home, and eventually made a mulch that sticks very well.

I dont feel it would give enough of a barrier. Very low everygreens that spread along the ground would work well. Speak to our nursery.

I think it depends on the angle, I have a 30 degree slope and it's great. Unless you have a super steep pitch you should be good.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

It would be my best recommendation, not sure how well it will work on that hard of a surface. If you use this to finish and a stone chisel to make the rough opening than I think you should be in good shape

Operationally I'd say no. Not a bad idea, however, as it is a vacuum based system pulling air and leaves etc into the cloth bag, the material the bag is made of has to have a certain weave/porosity factor to allow the air drawn in to flow through with the leaves and escape, otherwise the bag would pop like an overblown balloon. Just as easy to open the bag and dump the mulch into a yard waste recycling container.

That is why I wanted it to mow a slope, and it did what I needed. It's very light weight and will take a while to accomplish your goal,but you don't have to bend over as much due to the wheels. In other words it's a weedeater with wheels.

If the rocks are little pebbles, this tiller would probably be fine, but with larger rocks, I would not think this tiller has the power to do the job. However, I will add that I have previously worked soil (farmed for many years) and that I only use this tiller in a small garden patch and it has worked well for me. If your ground is "really" rocky, I would think it might need a bit of preperation; plowing, disking, and raking before using this light weight tiller.I hope this helps.

I suspect it could. Of course this depends on the coarseness. I haven't tried it on gravel. I use it on my lawn to smooth out the underground tunnels and the pushed up dirt piles. It does a great job especially after a good rain. It will not work as well if the ground is dry. At least on the sandy type soil I have here in southwest Michigan. The stress is really on the mower. The roller rolls nicely.

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

I am not sure but it should if it is packed full of potting soil or other soil in which you wish to grow your plants. I am not sure I would use it for this purpose however unless the rocks were large and not compacting.

The grass doesn't come up thru so I don't think plants would either. It disintegrated in the Florida sun. I trashed the entire box after it wouldn't stay down w the clips they recommend to use w it. There is a black permeable material they use around here for erosion. ThatMight be better. Good luck

It is vinyl so even though it is pretty heavy guage, I guess it could tear on sharp rocks. It probably is worth giving it a shot as it is a well made piece.

I use mine for 2 acres. It does not do well on very rough terrain. I have a bicycle handle brush cutter with metal blades for the really rough ground. elw

I don't think this product is designed to provide erosion control. You'll need something more substantial to manage stormwater runoff and prevent soil from washing away. The Reemay blankets sit lightly over level garden plots to protect them from frost, wind and insects. Search for "erosion control blanket" and you'll see a good selection of products that should work.

I use mine in my vegetable garden to reduce weeds and it gives me a path to walk on. I love it. It lastsa lot longer than any black mulch I've boughtI do not cover mine up but would if I was using it in landscaping.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

As long as there is safe footing and enough purchase for the mower to be pushed then yes, we would advise to mow across a slope rather than up and down where possible.
