GreenView Grass Seed Starting Mulch is specifically designed to be used on newly seeded lawns and bare spots. It's the ideal choice for those who want to ensure that their newly seeded lawn grows into a lush, deep green, healthy lawn. We specifically designed GreenView Grass Seed Starting Mulch to replace the messy and burdensome straw application that is not always effective. Our GreenView Grass Seed Starting Mulch is 100% weed-free. It protects grass seed and holds it in place. Each pellet can hold 3X its weight in water, helping to keep seeds moist. Unlike straw, our GreenView Grass Seed Starting Mulch contains starter fertilizer for grass seed to encourage strong root development and won't fly away with the next gust of wind. When paired with GreenView Pure Grass Seed, you will have the lawn of your dreams in no time. Grass seed is sold separately.
