Compost Filter Socks

What in the world is a Compost Filter Sock? Well, it's quite a remarkable way to use compost. Imagine a mesh tube filled with compost that acts as a natural shield, preventing eroded sediment from getting into waterways in areas where the land has been disrupted. These socks function like simple yet ingenious tools that capture nutrient-carrying soil and pollutants, safeguarding the creeks, rivers and lakes from polluting sedimentation. Particularly effective in disturbed areas vulnerable to erosion and runoff, they play a crucial role in preserving our precious watershed.

Curious about where these wonder socks can be utilized? They're incredibly versatile, proving their worth on slopes, construction site perimeters and right-of-ways, used as check-dams in swales, and alongside bodies of water such as rivers and streams. By doing so, they not only maintain the cleanliness of water but also reduce costs for construction projects.

They provide an excellent alternative to traditional erosion control methods like straw wattles or delicate silt fences. Unlike the so-called "cheap” methods, which need constant maintenance and look messy when left on a job site to flap in the breeze, our compost filter socks are durable and visually appealing.

So, why are we so passionate about this? If you know us, you know that we have a deep love for the environment. The introduction of compost filter socks isn't just a financial endeavor for us; it's a commitment to nurturing our land. Given the ongoing surge in construction projects in Oklahoma, we're determined to reduce the environmental impact, particularly on our watershed.

But we're not doing this alone – we're inviting you to be part of this movement. Compost filter socks have value in a multitude of industries, ranging from residential, commercial and municipal construction to road construction, power and utilities, solar & wind, oil and gas, waste disposal and agriculture industries. 

You might even have connections in these sectors who could benefit from this innovative solution. So, if you know anyone in these fields, we encourage you to spread the word about our efforts. Civil engineers and landscape architects play a unique role as they can specify compost filter sock on projects as a replacement for silt fence, straw wattle and silt dike.

Please reach out if you have any questions, know a referral contact or are interested in purchasing compost filter socks for your next project.
