Re: Last year's leaves

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I just leave the leaves and either turn them in loosely or cover them with
the compost before planting out transplants into the bed. For seed planting
areas I try to get the leaves off the surface. My biggest problem with using
whole or partially decayed leaves is that the slugs love it.
