Tons of dead leaves, how to properly use

I’d suggest 2 books about soil:

Teaming With Microbes

The Intelligent Gardener

Both of these books cover different aspects of organic growing. Teaming With Microbes covers the living aspect of soil and compost, keeping everything happy and diverse. The Intelligent Gardener is more about soil composition and mineralization for healthy harvests and soil life, although it’s mostly soil and soil testing/amending. They’re both available as audiobooks which is nice if you’re into that.

I’m going through both of these processes in my garden. Not building compost per se, but hindsight, wish I made my own compost knowing what I know now from those two books.

Here’s my journey, you can see how deep this rabbit hole goes 2023 "Field of Dreams"
