StrawNet

Introducing StrawNet Pelletized Straw Mulch... it's not your typical straw! For years straw has been used to help maintain soil moisture during germination. And for years straw being blown away or washed out leaving areas of soil exposed has been a problem. Those days are over with the introduction of StrawNet, the Pelletized Straw Mulch. It's simple.

Compressed straw fibers are formed into easily applied pellets that weigh more than conventional straw so they can't be blown around. Add water and the pellets swell and rupture forming a thin but dense ground cover. Special binding agents have been added during production to help the straw fibers net together with themselves and the soil creating a moisture trapping layer of straw fiber. This layer will provide a barrier from wind and evaporation while allowing water to infiltrate for ideal seed germination. StrawNet...all the performance of straw in an easy to apply, easy to store pellet.

Prevents Blow-Off Unlike conventional straw, StrawNet can hold up to four times it’s weight in moisture. This ability to hold moisture helps increase water infiltration and reduce water run-off. Maintaining moisture at the surface where the seed resides during germination is the key to successful seed establishment. StrawNet’s ability to trap and hold moisture can improve any seeding project’s success.	Captures Moisture Because StrawNet has eight times greater bulk density than conventional straw the blowing problems related to straw are completely eliminated. Plus, special binding agents have been added to StrawNet to actually net the straw fibers together. This netting effect not only bonds the straw with itself but with the soil surface below forming a moisture absorbing barrier between the soil and environment.	Ease of Application: 5 Easy Steps Being in the pelletized form, StrawNet can be applied easily in any number of ways. For small spot repairs StrawNet can be applied directly by hand with no mess. For seeding projects of a few thousand feet or more, a walk behind mulch spreader should do the trick. 1. Loosen soil in repair area 2 – 3” in depth. It’s important to have a good seed bed. 2. Spread seed at the recommended rate of the manufacturer. 3. Apply StrawNet to the area covering approx. 50% of the soil. Refer to the Stage 1 photo above reference. 4. Watering is key! Water the area 2 times daily for about 3 weeks or until the area is grown-in. 5. For best results apply a starter fertilizer to the area 2 weeks after the seed germinates. CAUTION: Do not use any weed control products in the repair areas until they are completely filled-in (approx. 3 weeks).
