Controlling Erosion, big and small things you can do

Erosion is one of the most challenging issues for farmers, gardeners, foresters, builders, and well, pretty much anyone. Erosion not only removes valuable topsoil and reduces our ability to grow things, but soil in water causes problems to fish and other creatures reducing their ability to survive. There are lots of things that can be done in urban and rural areas alike: covering your garden, using silt fencing around contsruction areas, following best management practices on farm roads, and so much more.
