yeah, pretty sure i’ll leave it down. URI didn’t have a mix that i could find locally and supposedly several varieties of grass seed together do better than using just one. should also save on water. on the Super Seed Store site they link to the coop extension for each state… on RI’s link, up comes this
http://www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/sheets/selectturf.html
so the grasses in the mix i got are, in fact, recommended by URI and they’ve even developed some of those related to the mix i bought. unclear if any of theirs actually made it INTO the mix i bought tho.

Based on the actions and subsequent results of a playful, I say do not remove the burlap. THe pup pulled up a corner of our burlap patch and ripped up the poking through grass and roots.
Let teh burlap rot, it will help with the keeping brids off the seed and the roots moist.
Say, surprised you did not used the locally develloped and locally tested and produced URI grass seed… just saying.
