JRM CHEMICALJRM Chemical’s linear anionic polymers (PAM) are available in powders, emulsions, and tablets to reduce soil erosion and treat turbid water. They are also used as a tackifier with mulch and straw. Low application rates of 4 ppm or less will reduce turbidity in discharge water and reduce suspended particles and colloidal solutions. The crosslinked polymers (SAP) hold moisture and are used as an amendment when planting trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Crosslinked polymers reduce plant waterings by 50%, last 3 to 5 years in the soil, and are ideal for remote plantings.www.soilmoist.com

ROCKLAND MFG.The Rockland Silt Sock Roller—which was designed by Frank Yeager, a seasoned excavator operator—makes installing silt sock easy, especially in difficult terrain. The Silt Sock Roller installs more sock because it uses the hydraulics of the excavator to roll and unroll silt sock, placing it where you want it the first time. The bolt-on header plate allows the roller to be positioned perpendicular or parallel to the excavator stick depending on site conditions.www.rocklandmfg.com
