Should Leaves Stay On Your Flower Beds?
Original: Should You Let Leaves Stay On Your Flower Beds? What Gardeners Need To Know
Gardeners are being reminded that fallen autumn leaves can be left on flower beds rather than raked away. The advice is that leaves act as natural mulch, insulating soil, retaining moisture and feeding plants as they break down, while also providing shelter for beneficial insects. The guidance notes some caveats: thick layers can smother small plants, so gardeners should shred leaves or spread them evenly, and keep beds free of diseased foliage.
Why now: Autumn leaf-fall has prompted seasonal debate among gardeners over whether to rake leaves or leave them as natural mulch.
