BFM is an erosion control system where a layer of fibers are joined together with adhesive
mineral binders to create a 3 dimensional erosion blanket which adheres to the soil. It eliminates direct rain
drop impact on soil. BFM is equal to all biodegadable erosion control blankes when applied correctly. BFM
wont form a crust that inhibits plant growth it is completely biodegradeable and is beneficial to plants growth. BFM
is applied via hydroseeder.
BFM is designed to replace temporary biodegradeable erosion blankets.
Areas to use:
- Steep slopes that require erosion control blanket
- Side of runways to stop soil from blowing
- Stockpiled topsoils, keeps soil in place for 1 year
- Recommended when hydroseeding wont work because of temperatures.
- When slopes 2:1 where wind or rainfall is a factor
- Will withstand up to 6" rain per hour.
Because it is hydraulically applied it requires less ground prep and less labor, which makes it
more cost effective than sod or blanket applications.
Benefits:
- BFM can be applied in a 1 or 2 step process.
- BFM performs better at lower cost
- Improves germination
- Reduces soil loss
- Reduces water runoff
- Secures seed and fertilizer in place untill growth is established
- When applied hydraulically BFM conforms to soil protecting slopes
- It's blanket type protection minimumizes soil retention and wind and water erosion
- Applies easily with hydraulic application which reduces labor
- No site prep needed
BFM is porous and flexible allowing sunlight and water to filter thru to ground below creating
a perfect microclimate and growing environment. Allows better absorption of rainfall and reduces runoff and sediment
loss. Enhances growth by improving water infiltration and moisture retention. Biodegradeable, non toxic
and enriches soil as it degrades leaving no residue making it safe for wildlife and workers. There is no maintenance with
BFM.
