Is the weight of the compost filter sock a problem with installation, maintenance or removal?
• The weight of the compost filter sock prevents the sock from moving during high flows and ensures good ground contact which prevents undermining. The light straw wattles need to be trenched and staked every 2 to 3 feet to prevent undermining. We will deliver socks on pallets and you can put them on a trailer or use a skidsteer with forks to drive along and pull the sock off the pallet. We will install the compost filter sock for you. The sock can be left in place permanently in most situations and will vegetate and act as a speed bump to slow down the runoff, but if it needs to be removed you just have to cut the sock open and remove the netting while leaving the compost. We are so confident in the quality of compost filter sock that we will repair or replace any sock damaged by a weather event, which we have installed, free of charge.
