Our customer James Wilkinson, Founder of CEC (https://www.cerosion.com), recently shared this post that highlights how ProGanics and Flexterra outperform straw and conventional hydraulic mulches on slopes and high-risk sites.
James trusts Profile when providing his customers with solutions that are science-based and site-specific.
In James’ Words:
—————————————————
What makes ProGanics and Flexterra a go‑to, reliable erosion control system?
Because hydroseeding is not just green spray on the ground—and all mulches are absolutely not the same.
As installers, our job isn’t to “spray and pray.” It’s to understand soil conditions, slope severity, erosion risk, and functional longevity, then recommend products that actually perform when weather, schedules, and inspections matter.
Here’s the technical difference
ProGanics Biotic Soil Media (BSM)�ProGanics isn’t a decorative mulch—it’s an engineered soil-building media. On disturbed sites with stripped topsoil, poor organic content, or limited biological activity, ProGanics is designed to
Add meaningful organic matter and soil-building components
Jump‑start biological activity and nutrient cycling
Create a viable growing medium where topsoil replacement isn’t practical
From an installer’s perspective, this means we’re not hoping seeds survive—we’re building the soil profile they need to establish.
Flexterra HP‑FGM�Flexterra is a high‑performance flexible growth medium, not a standard cellulose mulch. It’s engineered to:
Bond directly to the soil surface immediately upon application
Deliver >99% erosion control effectiveness in independent testing
Provide documented functional longevity (up to ~18 months depending on conditions)
Outperform straw and conventional hydraulic mulches on slopes and high‑risk sites
That performance comes from thermally refined fibers and mechanical + chemical bonding—not just “green dye and fiber.
Why this matters from an installer standpoint
When used together, ProGanics and Flexterra allow us to:
Recommend solutions based on site risk and soil science, not just cost
Reduce re‑application, erosion failures, and blanket patching
Safety factors
Support faster, more reliable vegetation establishment
Deliver results that hold up through rain events, inspections, and turnover
That’s why these products are commonly specified on civil, energy, mining, and infrastructure projects—and why we stand behind them in the field.
Hydroseeding done right is engineered—not decorative.�What products have you seen succeed (or fail) when conditions get tough?
