Premier Straw Erosion Control Blanket

The blanket acts as a protective layer that retains moisture in the soil while shielding seeds from direct sunlight and hungry birds. By creating a stable, humid microclimate, it allows seeds to take root more effectively than if they were left exposed.

The straw fibers are fully biodegradable, but the plastic netting is designed to be durable for the duration of the establishment phase. While the netting provides necessary structural integrity while the grass grows, you may need to remove any remaining plastic debris once the vegetation is fully established.

Yes, this blanket is specifically designed to stabilize soil on slopes and disturbed ground. The plastic netting helps hold the straw and seed in place against gravity and water runoff until your grass roots take hold.

You should use landscape staples or stakes to pin the blanket firmly to the soil. Ensure you overlap the edges slightly and secure the perimeter well to prevent wind or water from lifting the material.

The straw fibers are designed to degrade naturally over time as your grass grows through. The exact timeline depends on your local climate, moisture levels, and sun exposure, but it is intended to last long enough to support the initial growth phase.
