Fallen leaves can effectively prevent weed growth in spring by blocking light and providing nutrients as they decompose. They serve as a natural mulch, protecting garden plants during winter and supporting beneficial organisms. Instead of collecting leaves, gardeners can utilize them to enrich soil and deter weeds. Shredding leaves can enhance composting, while layers of leaves offer shelter for local wildlife. Additionally, implementing other measures like adding compost or planting native species can further limit weed emergence in spring.
