What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this seeding straw for protecting grass seed, retaining moisture, and providing convenient coverage with excellent spreadability. The shredded, bagged format is favored over traditional bales for ease of transport and even distribution, with many noting a single bag covers substantial area. Reviewers highlight its effectiveness at preventing birds from disturbing seeds and keeping them in place. Most find it easy to spread with minimal mess, and several report successful use in vegetable gardens and flower beds. However, some customers report weed seed contamination causing unwanted plant growth, though this concern affects a smaller portion of users. Overall, most consider it a worthwhile, time-saving solution for grass seeding.

Be warned

Would Not Recommend

Be warn it has wheat seeds. We use them in our strawberry beds but some seeds sprouted. I am also not sure if it was sprayed with pesticides and herbicides.
