Pro-Time Lawn Mulch provides needed insulation for germinating seeds. In
nature, the stalks of grass containing seed heads dry up and fall to the ground
with the seed. These dead stalks are very important for successful
germination of the seeds as they retain much needed moisture while maintaining
temperature. As the microbes in the soil decompose the stalks, they
fertilize the soil with nitrogen and other minerals.
Our Pro-Time Lawn Mulch is made from the leftover stalks of straw when the grass seeds are harvested. When the mulch is applied over newly seeded ground, it acts just as the dead stalks of grass do in nature when they fall to the ground and decompose, as well as protecting the seeds from erosion. The seeds, therefore, have a greater success rate germinating and they are quicker to germinate so establishment time is lessened.
