Distribute and Spread Straw Mulch

What happens here

Load straw bales onto a CargoMax Flow Trailer towed by a Honda Pioneer 1000 side-by-side. Drive the side-by-side across the seeded areas, strategically dropping individual bales of straw every 10 feet or so. Then, manually break apart each straw bale and spread the straw evenly over the seeded ground. Pay particular attention to steep areas and troughs where water naturally flows fastest, as fast-moving water causes the most erosion. The straw acts as a protective mulch, holding the seeds in place, retaining soil moisture, and shielding young sprouts.

Goal: Cover the seeded areas with straw to protect them from erosion and aid germination.
