When the straw blanket is laid over existing grass, it will block sunlight from reaching the grass. Sunlight is essential for grass growth, and depriving the existing grass of light can cause it to weaken and eventually die over time. The blanket is primarily designed to protect new seeds, hold them in place, control weeds, and retain moisture to enhance germination.

This product is made from 100% biodegradable wheat straw and features 100% photodegradable netting.

Hi there: Here are a few tips to help keep the mesh secured in the ground: 1. Secure with Stakes: Be sure to secure the blanket tightly to the ground using biodegradable stakes every 2 feet. This will prevent the netting from getting caught in your lawn mower. 2. Grass Height: Allow the grass to grow to about 3.5-4 inches tall before mowing for the first few times. 3. Biodegradable Netting: The netting is 100% photodegradable and will naturally break down over time with exposure to sunlight. The degradation process may vary depending on environmental conditions and UV exposure. Heavily shaded areas will take longer to degrade due to reduced sunlight.
