EZ-Straw Seeding Mulch with Tack is conveniently bagged processed straw that doesn't leave you with an impossible mess to clean. The bonding agent gives it a tackiness to hold it together. EZ-Straw protects grass seed from heavy washout, windy areas, and birds and speeds up germination, while allowing you to water less often. It biodegrades so there's no mess to clean up! Just leave in place after the seed grows. It's safe for pets and children. EZ-Straw is twice cut and processed for easy application. The easy to handle package works great for small or large areas.
