Good to Know
Straw bales are a great general-purpose tool, but they work best in the right application. For seeded lawn areas, spreading loose straw over seed is one of the most effective ways to retain moisture and improve germination. For slope erosion control on larger or steeper sites, our straw erosion control rolls are a better fit — they’re designed specifically for that job. Straw bales used as sediment barriers on construction sites work best on flat or gently sloped areas with smaller drainage areas; they’re not suited for channels or areas with concentrated water flow.
