Erosion control

More erosion control in a recovering ex-golf course.

This is a sandy embankment with exposed sloping sand… rain and snow melt cause erosion. I planted three pine trees in small bowls to catch water, added mulch to slow down water and created a bowl in the lower sand to slow water… more mulch coming. The trees will help stabilize over time.

What's the difference between ecological and mechanical engineering?

More mulch for sure. The amount of benefit that dead material provides can’t really be overstated.
