Should I Rake Ivy Litter Before Putting Pine Straw On Top?
Q: I am clearing ivy from my yard. Should I rake out the ivy litter before I put pine straw on top of it?
A: The leaf litter will be decomposed by soil-dwelling creatures and will thereby feed the shrubs and trees above. Leave the litter and spread the straw.
