DirtBags are a simple but highly effective solution for supporting vegetation establishment in areas where soil conditions have been compromised or lost.
Each DirtBag is a biodegradable jute bag filled with soil-less growing media and site-specific native seed, designed to provide both immediate erosion control and a growing environment for vegetation.
By combining structure, media, and seed into a single unit, DirtBags help rebuild the conditions required for plants to establish, particularly in riparian zones, stormwater systems, and eroded landscapes.
DirtBags are ideal when:
They are most effective where both structure and growing medium are missing.
DirtBags combine erosion control, growing medium, and seed into a single biodegradable unit that can be installed directly onto degraded or unstable surfaces. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on existing soil conditions, DirtBags create their own planting environment, allowing vegetation to establish where it otherwise could not.
This allows projects to rebuild lost soil structure while immediately stabilizing the site.
Once installed, the bags support seed germination and root development while gradually biodegrading, transitioning the site from structural support to vegetation-driven stability. The result is a practical and scalable solution for restoring function to difficult landscapes.
