During the winter, people in these parts burn unwanted vegetation; it's the easiest way to get rid of it. Last night we burned several large clumps of Miscanthus (feather grass), which get untidy by Thanksgiving, with dried leaves blowing around the yard. This morning, there is nothing left but the blackened stubble. The grass will regrow next spring. As you can see, when growing, the clumps conceal an unsightly drain pipe.
