Program Integrated plant health care Department Title will go here. You can learn from this natural process and put it to good use in your own garden. Here are several ways you can use your leaves. Compost your leaves.
Leaves are rich in carbon, minerals and fibre.
A healthy compost pile requires materials rich in both carbon and nitrogen. To maintain a healthy balance in your pile, especially in winter when most materials going into the compost pile are nitrogen-rich kitchen waste, keep a supply of leaves close to your bin in a garbage can or pail with a secure lid. Always try to add equal volumes of leaves and kitchen waste to your compost pile. Compost surplus leaves separately. If you have too many leaves for your regular bin, use a separate compost bin for leaves only.
