Consider this our no-fuss companion to seed. Encap’s Lawn Starter Mulch solves all the woes of typical straw or paper mulches. It’s easy to apply with any spreader or straight from the pouch. It doesn’t carry weed seeds and never blocks essential sunlight, water or nutrients. We use an innovative granular mulch with starter fertilizer to help your seeds establish as nature intended. Simply. Bountifully. Beautifully.
