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.
Growing grass from seed is often difficult, usually because homeowners don't keep the seeds sufficiently watered during germination and in the early stages of growth. With the use of mulch, you can help the soil maintain moisture because evaporation is reduced. You can apply many types of mulch to newly seeded lawns. Although straw is recommend over hay because hay contains seeds (which grow into weeds), you can still use it. However, use old hay, such as bails that are a year or two old, rather than freshly harvested hay, which is more likely to cause weeds.
