A damming and barrier-forming device which includes a porous, biodegradable elongated fabric tube closable at one or both ends, and having a diameter of from four inches to two feet and a length of at least four feet. The elongated fabric tube, which can typically be constructed of burlap, is filled with earth after one end has been closed, and the earth-filled tube is then laid in a desired configuration adjacent or around a shrub or plant which is to be nourished and sustained by water impounded behind, or within, the damming and barrier-forming device. A method is described for using the damming and barrier-forming device.
