One of our most helpful products is the
straw bales
for sale that we offer. Many people wonder why a concrete and landscaping company also sells straw bales. The reason is straw actually helps grass seed grow healthy and strong. So if you’ve planted new grass seed and want a beautiful, healthy lawn, contact
Hanover Concrete, Co., for our straw hay bales in
Hanover, PA.
How Straw Helps
Two of the dangers that newly placed grass seeds face are displacement and drying out. Because grass seed is extremely light and just sits on the soil until it starts to grow, any strong breeze can lift the seed up and throw it who knows where. Rain and birds can also move the seed. A thick layer of straw will keep your grass seed in place and maximize the chances of it all germinating.
Grass seed can also easily be dried out by the sun. If the seed doesn’t have enough moisture, it will die and be useless to you. Straw will act as an insulator and layer of protection that keeps the moisture in and around the seed.
What to Do
When you mulch your grass seed with our straw bales, you first need to lay a thick layer of straw over the entire area. Make sure you don’t leave any gaps, and avoid foot traffic in the area. Only remove the straw after the grass has reached about two inches tall. Then, your grass should be healthy enough to survive the weather.
