Abstract

At least one exemplary device includes a tubular mesh enclosure formed from a mesh material having a nominal opening size of less than 0.5 inches, a ratio of a length of the mesh enclosure to a diameter of the mesh enclosure greater than 40, having an opposing pair of ends, at least one of the ends sealed, the enclosure surrounding a filling.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for pneumatically forming a soil erosion control device comprising:
 pneumatically discharging a filling from a pneumatic blower hose into a mesh tube formed from a mesh material having an opening size sufficient to allow soil to readily pass into the mesh tube, a ratio of a length of the mesh tube to a diameter of the mesh tube greater than 40, an external surface of said mesh tube formed by said mesh material.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling and the mesh tube operatively retain soil particles within the erosion control device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling strains runoff that enters the soil erosion control device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein mesh material has an opening size sufficient to allow plant roots to grow through the mesh material. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises organic matter. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises plant-originated matter. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises animal-originated matter. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises compost. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises mulch. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises clay. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises gravel. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises sand. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises soil. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises wood chips. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises peat. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises sawdust. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises agricultural waste products. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises manure. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises plant seeds. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises spores. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises at least one rhizosphere. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises plugs. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises sprigs. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises fertilizer. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises a flocculant. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises a chemical binder. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises a water absorbent.
