What kind of plants can I place under my rain chain or downspout?

• <div><p>Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: </p><ul><li><p>Acorus (Sweet flag)</p></li><li><p>Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.</p></li><li><p>Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.</p></li><li><p>Juncus effusus (Curly rush)</p></li><li><p>Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can you plant a tree over a ground up stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">plant a tree</a> in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.</p></div>

Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>
