Using Fall Leaves In Your Garden
When you rake your yard in fall, don't throw the leaves away in trash bags. Spread them over the garden spot and wet it down. When you till the yard in spring, till the leaves in. It makes free mulch nutrients for the plants as leaves will decompose.

Keep Leaves from Blowing Away
You may want to consider putting something on top of leaves to prevent them from blowing away. I was able to get wood chips free from a tree service. A scattering of wood chips has done the job. Consider doing Ruth Stout style gardening. She even published a book on the subject. She does not till her garden. She pushes the mulch to the side when she plants and lets it mulch the new plant. Any time she got new weeds, she just covered them with more mulch.

Oak Leaves
Oak leaves are especially good for evergreens, such as pines and even rhododendrons and azaleas.

Saving for Later Use
We put our leaves into the dark green garbage bags (heavy duty ones) and then store them at the back of the property behind some bushes for a couple of years. When I open them up in the spring, the leaves have composted and can be dug into the garden.
