Vegetation establishment in gully control work

All structural measures used in gully control must be accompanied with vegetative measures to obtain a sound result.

General principles <\/h3>

-All structural measures should be completed in the dry season and the accompanying vegetative measures undertaken during the following rainy season.

-Suitable tree seedlings and cuttings must be planted just behind the structural measures.

-Shrub and grass cuttings must be planted between the structural measures.

-Tree and grass seeds should be sown between the structural measures, and on gentle, bare slopes which have sufficient soil.

-Gentle slopes which do not need any structural measures should be planted with tree seedlings, and grass and shrub cuttings.
