It’s not uncommon to have a straw layer, especially with organic living soil.
“ This helps to accomplish two important aspects of good soil health. The first is that it helps to maintain the moisture levels in your soil. If you allow the top levels of your soil to dry out, then you risk killing off valuable soil biology in that upper layer that you have worked hard to establish. Secondly, a good mulch provides a great ecosystem for the larger biology in the soil, especially the worms”
