Why Put Straw on Grass Seed. Straw keeps the soil in a newly planted lawn moist and warm. One of the goals when planting a new lawn is keeping the grass seed in place until it germinates and establishes a root system to anchor it to the soil. Another is to keep the newly planted seed sufficiently moist and warm to encourage germination.
I'm using straw for the first time this year in my raised beds, so I don't know how long it takes to break down. But there are a few weeds, sort of a long grass (wheat, I guess).Not many--and they are easy to pick out (and don't really spread like other weeds).Like Bookmark July 1, 2008 at 1:00PM.'ve used both straw and hay mulch for years. As mentioned above, the secret is to lay it on thick. If you put it down 6 inches thick in spring, it will be reduced by 80% by late fall. I've never used straw that was seed-free, but it has a lot fewer seeds than hay.
