What is in a Gulf Saver Bag?
A Gulf Saver Bag is a US Army Corps of Engineers standard biodegradable “burlap (sand) bag”, that is filled with an all natural humus mix rather than sand. (weight and size adapted for easy handling by volunteers) The humus inside the Gulf Saver Bag is a mixture of all natural organic nutrients that support maximum plant growth and survivability. Included in the humus mixture is billions of all-natural oil eating microorganisms, already being used by nature, to support as well as protect plants from potential toxins. The plants “plugged” into the Gulf Saver Bag are native marsh plants that are vital to protecting, holding together, and restoring the ecosystems that are essential to the Gulf Coast. The biodegradable Gulf Saver Bags decompose and continue to provide additional food for the marsh plants as they thrive and grow.
