on't go cheapo if you get the roll out straw mats. I bought several of Home Depot's online. They're not cheap...but they're made cheap. Those use a nylon mesh and nylon string...environmentally degrading...sure! No! Review comments such as rescuing snakes caught in the mesh. Deer hooves go through it, the deer freak out, your blanket gets drug around. I did not try the "Native American" brand woven straw...that's really getting expensive...and I'd already bought a thousand dollars of seed: prairie grasses and wild flowers mixes. Tried two years in a row to get the seed to grow. And last year, the BIG attempt, all planted in September with it raining hard everyday. As of now, I'm disappointed. Hoping the summer seeds will spread the plants.
