Forestry MowingSummary • All work can be completed in one operation • Ability to complete work in frozen or snow covered conditions • Faster and more economical than traditional operations • Less ground disturbance (no grubbing, burying, or burning) • Less impacts to traffic (no debris to haul, minimal mobilization) • Few if any utility conflicts • Natural vegetation re-growth • Seeding and mulching not always needed
Curlex Bloc • Curlex Blocs are a good alternative to Coir Logs. • USA made. • Made from naturally grown materials. • Materials are loosely packed, so vegetation can naturally root. • Great wicking material. NASECA Feb 2014 1390-04-79

Curlex Bloc • Great Natural filter. • Good vegetative growth. • Biodegrades naturally. • Installation is the biggest problem • Imbed the Bloc, so it intercepts water. • Abut Blocs and overlap material to make a seamless joint. NASECA Feb 2014 1390-04-79
