The question is answered by experienced gardener, agronomist Alexander KHOROBROVETS.
- Pests that cause many fungal diseases hibernate in fallen leaves, so during autumn tilling, it is better to incorporate the leaves into the deeper layers of the soil, which is possible when leaf fall occurs in a timely manner.
In small gardens, leaves are raked and burned or piled into compost heaps, covering them with a layer of peat or soil.
