PennMulch Seed Starter™ (with Starter Fertilizer)

• Built-In Starter Fertilizer: Provides essential nutrients to support strong early root growth.

• Moisture-Holding Pellets: Absorb water and release it slowly back to the seed, improving germination.

• Tackifier Included: Helps anchor seed in place, reducing washout on slopes or bare soil.

• Easy to Apply: Spreads cleanly by hand or with a broadcast spreader.

• Made From Recycled Material: Environmentally friendly, 93% recycled wood/paper content.

PennMulch accelerates seed establishment by creating an ideal environment for germination. The pellets expand when watered, forming a protective mulch layer that holds moisture, shields seed from wind and rain, and provides slow-release nutrients. It’s the perfect companion for overseeding, new lawns, patch repair, and difficult areas prone to erosion.

• Apply directly on top of freshly spread grass seed.

• Spread at 30–40 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. for new lawns.

• Use 10–15 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. for overseeding.

• Water thoroughly to activate the pellets. They will expand and darken.

• Keep mulch moist during germination for best results.
