About This Product
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.

Questions & Answers
Does this come with stakes
No. Stakes are not included with the Pennington Wheat Straw Grass Blanket. For proper installation, you'll need to purchase landscape staples or stakes separately. The blanket should be secured tightly to the ground—typically every 2 feet and along the edges—to help keep it in place and prevent wind from lifting it.

Hi Pete! This product is made from 100% biodegradable wheat straw and features 100% photodegradable netting, meaning these materials are designed to break down naturally over time.

If I lay a big section over seed and existing grass, will this straw blanket kill any existing grass undernit
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.
