Overseeding involves revitalizing an old lawn without removing all the sod. Many old, thin, weed-infested home lawns are completely restored using this approach. Overseeding is most successful when more than half the existing lawn is still producing desirable turfgrass species. StrawNet can help! StrawNet is very easy to apply and is also very friendly to existing vegetation. It won't choke out turf that is currently still producing shoots. First mow the existing vegetation as short as possible and then reseed with the desired turf seed. Then simply apply StrawNet pelletized straw mulch over the entire area that has been seeded without fear of destroying what is left in the lawn currently. Activate the mulch with irrigation and the process of revitalizing your lawn is underway.
StrawNet is also excellent to assist in filling those bare spots. Just uniformly apply a small amount of seed to the bare spots and sprinkle in some StrawNet pelletized mulch and either irrigate or wait for the rain to activate the mulch and begin seed germination. StrawNet is not as rate sensitive as other mulches tend to be so you can relax and not worry about applying too much mulch either. Higher rates generally tend to equal better results. StrawNet can be applied using a walk behind mulch spreader or simply by using your hands.
Seeding is usually the most economical method to establish a new lawn. New home lawns are a great place for StrawNet to prove its ability to establish turf. Mulch applied properly and under the proper conditions will speed germination and improve stand uniformity. StrawNet helps to increase seed to soil contact for enhanced germination. The use of StrawNet will also help conserve moisture, keep the soil surface cool, control erosion, and reduce surface crusting until establishment. Germinating seedlings can die in a few hours if they become dry. Just prepare the soil for seeding as usual and after the seed has been applied follow up with StrawNet to enhance germination and overall uniformity of your future grass stand.
StrawNet can be easily applied using a walk behind mulch spreader, and if the area is not too large it is still easily applied by hand or even using a shovel.
Costs for commercial seeding applications usually include seed, fertilizers, mulch, and most importantly labor to apply all of the following. StrawNet can help! In most instances StrawNet can be applied much faster than most of the other steps listed, saving you time, and we all know that time is money. For large and small commercial accounts StrawNet is a fast and efficient way to mulch.
It requires minimal equipment, which can save you money. In the time that it may take to just fill a hydroseeder StrawNet can be dry applied and the project all but finished. Mulching in commercial situations is an insurance policy for better establishing turf. If the turf can be established uniformly without any problems there will likely be less call backs about problems or disgruntled customers. Strawnet can be quickly and easily applied using numerous different.
Golf is unlike other turf market sectors. Unlike the parks or roadsides, the turf planted at the golf course creates a revenue stream for years to come. Unlike large reclamation and erosion control projects, the emphasis is on the speed and quality of the finished result rather than on the cost of the specific materials or the total project. Mulching is a simple operation that can be the difference between success and failure. Grass seed is expensive, but good establishment methods are relatively cheap.
When dangers to germinating seeds and young seedlings are anticipated, ways to avoid them are worthwhile. StrawNet can help. StrawNet pelletized straw mulch is a simple and easy to apply mulching choice. It can be applied over large areas with a large three point hitch or even larger pull behind type spreaders. Irrigation on the golf course can activate the dry applied mulch easily and start the seed on its way to a more uniform and dense stand of turf quicker and easier.
