Will Leaving Pine Straw To Decompose Harm The Plants?
Q: To protect early spring growth we heavily mulched our annual flower beds with pine straw. Will leaving the pine straw to degrade naturally harm the plants or retard them? Or do we have to physically remove it?
A: As long as the straw doesn’t hide the leaves of the young plants from the sun, there’s no harm in leaving it.
