Mainely Mulch is an excellent product for anyone looking to put down grass seed or as an alternative to traditional mulch. Rather than using straw to cover recently seeded lawns or lawn patches, we recommend using Mainely Mulch since it is a virtually weed seed-free chopped straw that decomposes quickly, eliminating the need to rake up the straw once the grass seed is established.
According to the manufacturer, Lucerne Farms, "Grown on a family farm in Fort Fairfield, Maine, Mainely Mulch is a special blend of chopped straw, timothy, and alfalfa hay perfect for your lawn and garden. Heat treated to kill weed seeds, our product is 100% natural and Mother Earth friendly.
Mainley Mulch does more than cover your ground. It enriches the soil, adding valuable nutrients and encouraging beneficial earthworms, bringing harmony to your lawn and garden. Lightweight and easy to apply, our mulch not only protects newly sown grass seed from birds and the threat of being washed away or drying out, it also conserves moisture and helps prevent weeds from springing up in your garden."
