The blanket provides coverage of 200 square feet with one roll. It is appropriate for repairing the lawns of any home or doing the landscaping of a business place. The biodegradable fibers of the straw protect the seeds naturally. It minimizes the evaporation and keeps the soil stable during the most crucial period of growth.
Benefits
This product is designed to guarantee a number of benefits that are not just limited to covering seeds.
- Faster Germination: The blanket will regulate both the moisture and the soil temperature. They are very important in germination. The development of a stable environment promotes faster and more even seed germination. This results in a healthier stand of grass or plants.
- Reduced Maintenance: Due to the fact that the blanket retained the seeds and minimized the competition of weeds, reseeding and excessive water requirements are unlikely to be necessary. This implies that there are fewer interventions to make once it is installed.
- Reliable Erosion Control: The blanket does not allow the valuable topsoil to be washed away, especially in a down slope or storm prone area. Particles of soil are not washed away. They offer a better foundation for growth in the long run.
- Cost-Effective for Large Areas: When using the quarter pallet display, it is possible to just buy several blankets at once. This saves on the price per square foot. It also makes the product appealing to contractors, municipalities, and land managers operating on larger projects.
Installation and Use
This product is crucial for proper installation to realize the maximum benefits of this product. Pennington created the blanket to be easy to apply to residential lawns or huge commercial premises.
- Site Preparation: Remove debris, grade the soil, and prepare seed beds.
- Seed Application: Spread seed evenly across the prepared soil.
- Blanket Placement: Roll out the blanket over the seeded area, overlapping edges slightly.
- Securing the Blanket: Landscape staples or pins can also be used to ensure that the Blanket does not slide, especially in areas that are windy or hilly.
- Watering: Gently water after installation and maintain consistent soil moisture until seedlings are established.
As plants mature, the blanket naturally decomposes, eliminating the need for removal.
Ideal Applications
The Blanket is versatile. Therefore, there will be a solution for a variety of environments.
- Landscaping and Grounds Maintenance: In parks, lawns and sports fields, the Blanket keeps the ground level even allowing the easy establishment of the seeds, as well as minimizing reseeding.
- Municipal Projects: Roadside embankment, drainage areas and restoration of public land benefit from its soil stabilization properties.
- Farming and Agriculture: Tilling causes soil erosion and disturbs the seed from its position. The reduction of erosion and retention of the seed makes reseeding and repair more effective.
- Home Use: This product can be of great help in home gardens where people lay new lawns or fill bare areas that are prone to washouts and uneven growth.
Packaging and Value
The blanket is available in convenient quarter-pallet displays, making it easy to transport and store. Bulk purchasing is cost-effective, as contractors and property owners can reduce the cost per roll when buying larger quantities. Each roll covers a wide area, ensuring efficient installation and lower overall project costs, especially for large-scale applications.
