4. Forestry Mowing The Good 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 NASECA Feb 2014 1016-00-61

10. Forestry Mowing Bad Rutting (may be other track type power units to avoid this) Problems getting around in wet soils Flying debris if not operated properly Significant ground disturbance if not operated properly Re-growth from stumps left in place Smother existing vegetation if debris is not spread out well Potential for larger pieces of debris to remain when not operated properly NASECA Feb 2014 1016-00-61

18. 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

31. 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
