How to Utilize Semican Hay, SRW Straw Blankets, and Straw Wattles for Landscaping
Using straw when planting grass seed is crucial as it helps to retain soil moisture, provides a stable environment for the seeds to germinate, and protects the seeds from being eaten by birds or washed away by rain.
Landscaping is not just about making your yard look attractive; it's about creating a sustainable and functional environment that can withstand the elements. At Cedar Mountain Stone and Mulch, we understand the importance of using the right materials for the job. That's why we recommend Semican Hay straw, SRW straw blankets, and straw wattles for your landscaping needs. Here's a brief overview of these products and their benefits.
Semican Hay
Semican Hay straw is a versatile tool in landscaping and grass planting. It serves multiple purposes such as erosion control, grass growth, mulch or ground cover, and even animal bedding. When used in landscaping, Semican Hay straw aids in the establishment of new grass seedlings. It acts as a protective layer, shielding the grass seeds from birds and the scorching sun. This covering also helps the ground retain moisture better, which is crucial for successful grass germination. Moreover, Semican Hay straw provides more nutrients for growing healthier grass. However, it’s important to use the right amount and to water the seeds regularly to keep them moist. With these benefits, Semican Hay straw proves to be an advantageous choice for your landscaping and grass planting needs.
SRW Straw Blankets
SRW straw blankets are another fantastic option for protecting against erosion, especially on slopes or in areas with heavy rain. These blankets are made of straw fibers stitched between two layers of biodegradable netting. They encourage seed germination and growth by providing a stable environment for young plants.
Straw Wattles
Straw wattles are cylindrical rolls filled with straw and bound with netting. They are used to control erosion, reduce sediment runoff, and assist with water conservation in landscapes. Strategically placed along the contour of sloped areas, they intercept flowing water and reduce its speed, allowing the water to infiltrate the soil.
