![]() They’re good solid plastic stakes, they’re not biodegradable and so I tried to keep it even spacing so that way when it is time to pull them up, I’ll know where they’re all at. Because otherwise, at least for us, the kids are gonna be walking on them. Felt like every foot would be a lot of stakes and then you you’re gonna pull them up at some point. I think online they say to do it every foot but I did it every 6 feet. But what I failed to do was the bottom of the bottom row, because of the tropical storm it actually came up. So I was staking them both in at the same time. I’m doing both the top and bottom of it because the bottom is actually the top of the next layer. I will say the mistake I made was here: the top layer. And when I get to the end, just using a box cutter to cut it up. Just rolling it and then adjusting it after. Now I’m feeling a little bit more confident so you can see I’m not caring too much about where it lands. When I first rolled it out, I didn’t really have the overlap there but I go back over it and move it over. And this stuff seems to really work now with the second roll. All I care really about is that it works and it’s going to break down when it’s time to actually break down. It was very clearly wood fibers from some special tree that has good fibers for this type of stuff. So that’s why I like going with this method. But since you know, if you go to Walmart or Home Depot or any other store, you could have a teenager salesperson and you say “hey is this straw have weed seeds in?” and they’re going to go “oh no hay doesn’t have weed seeds in it” and they might not understand the difference. In other areas, you can get one or the other and one means it’s got no weed seeds, the other doesn’t. And then the actual material of this netting is a wood fiber, so it’s not just hay because hay can have weed seeds in it.Īround here straw and hay are basically the same thing I’ve been told. So it’s really stretch, flexible and it’s supposed to break down so you’re not supposed to have to pull this stuff up after the grass starts growing. It’s kind of like the netting that you use around bushes and stuff to keep birds away. You may not realize how stretchy the material would be.īut once it’s all down, you netting is made out of plastic. It’s super heavy but easy to do because you’re just rolling it and then the problem was the curve. ![]() I’m not doing anything special, just straight up unrolling it. ![]() This blanket has netting on both sides so it actually holds it well together and it keeps easy to unroll. And then once I just ripped it with my bare hands and then it rolled easily. Now you might be able to tell from the video that right there where a little plastic netting lays and that’s what was caught up. Just got to take your time at the beginning part, where you can see it’s caught up and then I figure out “oh that’s part of the next layer”. Same concept once you realize where any tangles are and get them situated, it’s actually really easy to unroll. If you have ever had issues with saran wrap, you’ll understand what’s going on her. Here is a video about using germination blankets to grow grass seed on a hill: I just use a regular box cutter to open up the packaging and then it’s as simple as unrolling it. And if it rains a lot, the point can keep it from washing away. Put some stakes to keep it from blowing around and the grass will come up growing through it. This is quite helpful, and the question is that, when to remove that seed germination blanket? How to make germination blankets for lawn I had issues with the seed actually, it easily washes out so this time I’m trying germination blankets. ![]()
