The compost socks have a diameter of 12 inches and are ten feet long. The biodegradable, porous compost socks are meant to hold sediment back while allowing water to continue flowing down the ditch. Multiple compost socks are installed in each ditch at an interval determined by specific site characteristics, such as road grade. On the lower portion of Prickly Mountain Road and Bragg Hill Road, we installed single compost socks along the entire ditch; while on the upper portion of Prickly Mountain Road, the compost socks were stacked. So far, the compost socks at all three sites have been able to endure a number of storms and have proven to keep some sediment from moving down the ditches. However, we will see how many more storms the compost socks can experience before the building sediment behind each sock needs to be removed in order for the socks to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>Our final installation of rock is scheduled any day now for Ski Valley Road in Waitsfield, and installation of check dams and turnouts will occur by late September on Crossett Hill, Richardson and Grout roads in Duxbury.\u00a0 Check back by early October for a report on effectiveness of our treatments installed to date.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-106\" alt=\"Compost sock installation on the lower portion of Prickly Mountain Road in Warren\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-3-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compost sock installation on the lower portion of Prickly Mountain Road in Warren<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_107\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107\" alt=\"Compost sock installed on the lower portion of Prickly Mountain Road holding back sediment\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-4-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/3_way_compost_sox.9.6.13-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-107\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compost sock installed on the lower portion of Prickly Mountain Road holding back sediment<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_108\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-108\" alt=\"Compost sock installation on the upper portion of Prickly Mountain Road, Warren.\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-6-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compost sock installation on the upper portion of Prickly Mountain Road, Warren.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_109\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-109\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-109\" alt=\"Stacked compost socks holding back sediment on upper portion of Prickly Mountain Road.\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-4-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aplarson\/files\/2013\/09\/Prickly_mtn_compost_sox-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stacked compost socks holding back sediment on upper portion of Prickly Mountain Road.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMP installations have continued throughout the summer, after our initial installations of rock in ditches at Kew Vasseur and Randall Roads in Fayston in November 2012.\u00a0 In July and August 2013, we installed compost socks in ditches at two sites on Prickly Mountain Road in Warren and on Bragg Hill Road in Fayston.
