Myth: Hydraulic mulching application rates change as slope gradient increases. Point of View: In recent months there has appeared on some product packaging recommendations for hydraulic mulch application rates based on gradient of slope. For example, one manufacturer provides the following departures from a standard 3,000 lbs per acre application ...

Myth: Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECPs) specification based on slope gradient. Point of View: Diagrams have been drawn and specifications written that recommend the use of various rolled erosion control products based solely on slope gradient. These unsupported recommendations were made by blanket manufacturers nearly two decades ago. This ...

We all tend to describe the steepness of slopes in different ways. Some of the most common descriptors are:       1. Degree of inclination (i.e., 26.87°, 18.43°, etc.)       2. Percentage of vertical rise over horizontal run (i.e., 50%, 33.3%, ...
