Pennington Seeding Mulch

Pennington Seeding Mulch is a straw alternative for lawns designed to protect newly seeded areas during lawn seeding and overseeding. Made from 100% natural wood fibers, this weed-free mulch helps retain soil moisture while staying in place when watered. A built-in tackifier activates with water to hold mulch and seed in place and reduce erosion caused by wind or rain. Unlike traditional straw, this seeding mulch applies cleanly, spreads evenly by hand, and requires minimal cleanup. The mulch changes color when wet, providing a visual cue to help guide watering. Pennington Seeding Mulch covers up to 600 square feet and can be used with any grass seed for new lawn projects, patch repair, or overseeding existing lawns. This biodegradable mulch provides reliable coverage and simple application for homeowners looking for a cleaner, more controlled alternative to straw during lawn seeding projects.
