That is the point: it is built for temporary jobs. It germinates in 5–10 days — the fastest ground coverage of any grass seed — and puts down a dense, fibrous root mass that holds topsoil and prevents erosion. It is the standard for overseeding warm-season (southern) lawns to keep them green while they are dormant in winter, and a classic nurse crop: it fills in fast to protect slower perennial grasses while they establish. It also acts as a nitrogen scavenger, capturing leftover soil nitrogen so it does not run off, then releasing it as the biomass breaks down. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -14.0pt;
