Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!
I’m hoping stuff like the radishes can get through though, beans are going gang busters with it though, seems to have helped the peas as well. Generally everything since the tops been kept moist!

Since we see a lawn in the background; consider using your lawn clippings too, they make a good garden mulch layer; very similar to straw.
If I used my grass clippings I would end up seeding my garden beds with grass. Straw can have some seeds but generally very little
Doesn’t most grass species take a couple months to go to seed and dry to be viable? I would worry about spreading other weeds that couldn’t get established through the ground cover, but would excel in the fresh dirt. But that shouldn’t add much more than what was naturally already there though?
I worry about the clover and excess nitrogen, and wouldn’t that become a bit more hard packed and make it hard for seedlings? If I had just a bed of starts I think that’s a great idea though.
