What Customers Are Saying
The straw blanket product has mixed reviews. Some customers found it effective at holding grass seed in place, preventing erosion, and promoting new grass growth. However, many others reported issues with the quality and performance, such as insufficient straw coverage, the straw blowing away, and difficulties with installation. The product may work well in some cases, but there appear to be better alternatives available for establishing new grass.

wasteful
Would Not Recommendseriously, it rips out germinated grass when you pull up the plastic. and really, plastic netting that just goes in the trash?? are you that lazy that you can't just shake out a straw bale onto the ground?

Protects seed
Would RecommendWorked great to cover seeds for new grass, efficient and fast growth
Works
Would RecommendThis straw seed blanket made seeding my lawn so much easier. It was simple to roll out, stayed in place, and helped the grass seed germinate evenly. Great coverage and no mess. I noticed growth within a week—highly recommend!
Rolled out like a dream
Would RecommendGreat product. Easy to apply and did a great job of protecting the area.
Solid product, slightly difficult to lay down
Would RecommendOverall a solid product for covering over grass seed to keep it protected while growing. However, slightly difficult to unroll, sticks on the edging then you end up with uneven rows. Had a very windy evening a few nights ago and came out and the hay was all over the place. Do suggest laying some rocks on the corners to keep it from moving around.
poor quality product
Would Not Recommendpurchased 4 rolls of the seed blanket. 2 were fine but 2 were horrible. The picture doesn't do it justice but there was not much straw on 2 out of the 4. Photo shows one bad and one good. They have been installed so we cant return them.

Good for what it proposes to be not sure long term
Would RecommendIt is a good product to keep your seeds and topsoil in place. It has a plastic mesh that I expect it will disapear with time, but for now it does not look pretty. Also, very strong rains and slopes will take your soil away, but it holds well the regular rain in flat terrain.
Works for hillsides
Would RecommendThis worked great for keeping the seed and topsoil in place during the initial seeding and grow phase. I've had problems with thunderstorms washing my freshly planted grass down the hill, tried this and it works great! A little pricey but worth it.
Not much straw
I don’t like the netting, had a rat snake bought in it. Not much straw, I should have just bought straw.
