One important aspect of these plans is the prevention of soil erosion. Solutions fall into four categories:
- Vegetation: This is a frequent control measure; planting crops, trees, and flowers will mitigate the impact of ice melt, rainfall, wind, and over-watering. Plants can hold the soil in place; good choices for this are small trees, wildflowers, and herbs.
- Matting: Another common technique, matting that is composed of wood fibers provides a biodegradable way of keeping soil in place. It also allows small and large plants to grow through it, further protecting the soil.
- Mulch and fertilizer: These will permit water to seep into the ground, reducing the impact of rain. This method also enables soil to recover its proper pH level.
- Retaining walls and edging: This step should keep rainwater-soaked, expanding soil from flowing downhill. It can be very effective when combined with other anti-erosion solutions.
