The Importance of Microblend®

 

Microblend® is a blend of natural and biodegradable organic nutrients that:

  • Aid in immediate stabilisation of compost/mulch material within the Ecoberm® and Ecoblanket® profile.
  • Enhance the ability of the Ecoberm® and Ecoblanket® to bond with the soil surface.
  • Provide long term nutrient resources for the proliferation of specific hydrocarbon degrading bacteria found in compost.
  • Provide long term nutrient resources for the propagation of structurally enhancing fungi and actinomycetes and bacteria that secrete soil bonding substances.
  • Increase the colonisation of beneficial fungi within the root zone of a terraseeded® berm and blanket to further enhance its filtration capabilities.

 

                         

 

Microblend® is a common component in all Ecoberm® and Ecoblanket® construction that helps standardise installation and performance.  Microblend® has unique characteristics that work directly with the compost materials making it possible to achieve the results that were reported initially at the San Diego State University's soil erosion research laboratory and later duplicated by the NSW Department of the Environment and Climate Change.  With all components of the system combined, we can repeat similar results from one application to the next.
