Sometimes.  When I do, I mix them into the soil because they turn into a 
sodden mess if I don't.  I did not notice any difference in leaf spot with or 
without, though.  I think the most critical elements in my garden are prolonged 
rain and high humidity.  The more "tropical" our weather,  the worse the leaf 
spot.
