Burning woodland? In zone 5b?
I know about controlled burn in Mediterranean countries, for example, for a pine woodland that might catch fire summertime when the weather is hot, hot and there is not rain. I also heard about burning prairie. What are the reasons for burning an oak woodland? Please advise. I would really like to know.
By the way, I covered the orchids by oak leaves just before the snow last year. Good to know that they like oak leaves. Shall I mulch them with aok leaves? Please advise. Thank you.
