Protect your landscape and encourage rapid new growth with the Pennington 4 ft. W x 50 ft. L Wheat Straw Grass Blanket Erosion Control Blanket. Ideal for hills and slopes, this biodegradable weed blanket securely holds grass seed in place, retains moisture, and provides superior soil stabilization to prevent washout.

Perfect for professional and personal use, simply roll out, secure tightly with stakes, and water thoroughly to achieve a healthy, erosion-free lawn.

Pennington's Straw Blankets are an excellent way to establish and encourage new growth when laying seed. These wheat straw blankets enhance seed germination dramatically by protecting the seed, holding the seed in place, controlling weeds and retaining moisture in neutral and challenging areas. Pennington Straw Blankets are the most effective method to preventing erosion and washout, particularly in areas with hills and slopes. They can also be placed around foundations to protect new masonry from mud splatter stain. Once your seed has begun to grow in, your Pennington Straw Blankets will naturally start to degrade, leaving you with amazing results. The blankets are 100% biodegradable and the netting degrades over time with exposure to sunlight. Make sure to secure the blanket tightly to the ground using biodegradable stakes every 2 ft. when applying. When the product is staked tightly to the ground, you can avoid animal entrapment and getting it caught in your lawn mower from the netting. The grass should be 3-4 in. tall before mowing for the first few cuts. The degradation process can vary depending on the environmental conditions and exposure to sunlight - heavily shaded areas will take longer to degrade due to the lack of UV exposure.

The Pennington Seed Starter Mat holds grass seed in place, making it ideal for hills and slopes. The natural-fiber mat holds the proper amount of moisture for reliable germination and helps control weeds while the grass is establishing. This item is a starter mat only. Seed and stakes are not included. For directions, first plant your grass seed in bare soil. Secondly, remove the starter mat from its packaging and simply roll is out over your freshly planter seed and secure with stakes (not included). Lastly, water the area throroughly every day or until the grass reaches 2.5 in. tall. The mat naturally degrades for an easy cleanup, but the time it takes to degrade depends on the climate its used in. By staking the mat to the ground tightly, you can protect your new grass seed from birds but also prevent animals from getting trapped in the mat or getting it caught in a lawn mower. When the mat is staked tightly to the ground, this helps expediate the degradation of the seed mat.
