The act of spreading straw on the ground, often used for covering the ground or making a bed for animals.
Strawing is a simple and practical activity, often done on a farm or in a garden.
Examples:
The strawing of the garden helps keep the soil moist.
We did the strawing for the chickens' bed.
The strawing makes the ground look yellow.
The strawing of the field was a big job.
The strawing of the yard took a long time.
I like the smell of the strawing.
