Has anyone heard of this product before?
It claims that it will "lose strength at a controlled rate. During the useful life, the netting is stabilized to prevent the premature onset of the loss of strength. As the net ages beyond its design life, with ambient heat and oxygen, the netting becomes brittle breaking into small fragments. The fragments from the initial degradation, under the proper conditions, can be broken down further until they are digestible by microbes in a second stage of biodegradation."
The company name providing this is called Conwed Global Netting Solutions.
We are just asking because on our new sod bid, the grower uses this on the three-way fescue blend. We're just wondering if we will run into any issues. Our old grower did not use netting and we were hoping to avoid the use of netting on sod.
Thanks!
