The process involves mulching straw and blowing it over the ground surface until it forms a continuous open textured mat.
The covering of straw provides a micro climate of even temperature and moisture content at the ground surface.
The open weave of the straw allows light and water into the seed bed providing ideal conditions for germination. The straw mulch prevents drying out due to the effects of frost or sun and wind.
Using this method new grasses can be established throughout the year.
Straw mulching can be used in conjunction with either Hydroseeding or conventionally sown areas.
