Abstract

See full text

In a method for reducing erosion on land where moving water has formed at least one rill or gully a plurality of rock-filled mesh bags are placed at selected spaced apart locations in a rill or gulley. The mesh bags have side walls in which there are openings, each opening having a major diameter of between ⅛ inches and ¼ inches and a minor diameter which is less than or equal to the major diameter. For most uses, the mesh bags contain rocks having a size in which a largest diameter of the rock is between ⅜ inch and 1 inch, and the mesh bags weigh between 3 pounds and 4 pounds. Water flowing in the gulley will pass through each mesh bag. The mesh bag reduces the flow rate of the moving water. Larger sizes of stones and bags are used for areas of greater flow.
