The Basics: Simply fit the straw wattle across the ditch with someerosion control blanket beneath it.

The erosion control blanket acts as a splash-pad for thewater running over the wattle and helps prevent scouring.

from pool to pool…
This slows water velocity down and gives moretime for water to infiltrate into the ground andcauses sediment to fall out of suspension!

You might consider putting in a couple of upslopestakes as well for very heavy runoff events.

Why the upslope stakes?
To keep wattle from folding in on itself!
Although this may be an unnecessary precaution

Upslope stakes would help hold wattle in place during such an event.

Finally, sprinkle 100 grams of PAM 705 on the lower, center portionof the wattle where water is going to flow over.
This is not a lot of PAM – only this much!
