I am in a new house and I have a newly seeded lawn that is covered with hay. The grass is a tall fescue and it is starting to grow in but I am not sure what to do about the hay. Should I leave it where it is? Should I rake it up? Will it smother the grass now that it has started to grow? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

i’m sure it’s not hay, should be straw. if you’re still seeing straw, you’re grass has not developed properly. at any rate, don’t remove the straw, it will decompose on it’s own. also need to know where you live and when it was sown.
