“Should I rake the leaves in my yard?” That’s a great question!

Here’s what you should know:

Allowing leaves to stay on warm-season turfgrass can lead to problems. This leaf layer can slow or prevent turf from going dormant, making it more susceptible to freeze damage.

This leaf layer also traps moisture and creates a favorable environment for turf diseases.

Two alternatives are...
1. Blow/rake leaves into shade beds under tree canopies where turfgrass does not grow well.
2. Mulch the leaves and allow them to fall into the turf canopy.

The first option protects more larvae and the second option allows for faster breakdown of leaves.

Keep up the good work you conversationist!

Dozens of South Mississippi students planted 4,000 marsh plants at Fountain Pier Park to help restore a stretch of shoreline.

The Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District, the City of D’Iberville and Mississippi State University Extension teamed up on the restoration.

Kaitlyn Mitchell, MSU Native Plant Producer Network lead, said marshes are losing shoreline.

“Most of our marshes are unfortunately losing shoreline over time and some places it’s more gradual than others,” Mitchell said>>>https://www.wlox.com/2026/11/01/students-plant-4000-marsh-plants-dibervilles-fountain-pier-park/
