This may be a stupid question, but...
You know that stuff they use on the roadsides after doing dirt work, the mesh/straw mat they lay down when they're done? Any reason why that couldn't be adapted to garden plots or something? Maybe even with fertilizer embedded in it? Or time-release fertilizer(if they can make cold medicine like that, why not fertilizer? Requires a certain amount of moisture to release it? Or a certain amount of sunshine, to release the fertilizer to the plant at the optimal time?)? I guess it seems to me that if it's good enough to grow grass along the road, it should prove useful in other areas as well. And seems like we're always hearing about water shortages. Heck, maybe even use it in large-scale ag applications? Or maybe I'm just nuts, but I've wondered about this for a while. What would it cost to produce? How hard would it be to apply? Maybe buy it in a big roll, and just unroll it on the field? Maybe this is already being done, and I just haven't seen it in my neck of the woods. Thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Anthony Nubel

That is well within a
