Check out our latest Upload! Excavator, Tractor clearing trees! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7nIEwPTGC4 --~-- I've had lots and lots of people over the last couple years offer many different suggestions, many of which I have implemented or at least tried out. Here I show exactly WHY I don't invest more money in the 'traditional' erosion controls; straw mats, silt fences, hay bales and such. While those things certainly do have useful purposes, in our particular area, we have the 'Bermuda Triangle' effect.. And not just occasionally, but MOST of the time! (Torrential rains, all clay ground and hillsides). Watch as I show actual before and after effects of the Bermuda triangle effect on straw mats that completely failed.
