I posted some photos of something I had never seen before. It looked like straw that had been thrown on a lot with recently cut down trees. There were lots of comments, and azlady said she had hear that putting straw down encourages the regrowth of underbrush. Just went back and se seems to have called it spot on.
Check out "dodder weed"--that might be what that is
