How do you use Harvest Guard?

Prepare the soil and plant the grass according to the recommended procedures. Instead of using straw to cover the newly planted seed, cover the entire area with Harvest Guard (formerly known as Grass-Fast). Water the area thoroughly. Keep soil under fabric moist until seeds have thoroughly germinated. Leave in place until grass is beyond the “delicate” stage or until the daytime temperatures begin to approach 85-degrees. It is desirable to leave it in place as long as the weather is cool. Also, the benefits derived from using Harvest Guard versus straw more than pay for the extra cost of the cover.
