One look at the autumn garden and you want to run for a rake. How many leaves have fallen – you need to collect everything immediately. Wait to make hasty decisions. Experts explained the worst thing you can do and burden yourself with unnecessary work.

Mistakes of novice gardeners

A lot of leaves fall from trees and bushes in the garden. It's true. If it is lying on garden beds, mixborders, flower beds, where perennials and bulbous plants, ornamental grasses and tree-like plants grow, there is no need to remove the leaves. You will do useless work.

Removing leaves from the specified garden areas will have a bad effect on the condition of the garden and plants. With your own rake, you are taking away the protection of plants from cold, wind, and moisture. In addition, bare soil will lose moisture extremely quickly in the spring.

You need to take care of earthworms and beneficial microflora. If there is nothing to eat, they will not be able to work and reproduce, bringing benefits to the garden. The leaves should be left for them.
