The falling leaves that pile up on our garden or on our yard create a haven for other animals and insects.
Some species of spiders and insects take refuge on these drying garden plants.
Other species leave behind eggs, larvae, or pupae on or within plants to carry on the line.
Many kinds of birds need old stems, along with those dried leaves to construct their nests.
The dried plant material that the birds don’t take will serve as fertilizers for our growing plants.
Decaying plants and animal matter are snails and slugs' favorite food.
Let us create a nature-friendly garden.
Leave these dried and decaying leaves and plants for other God's creations needs.
Let us help wildlife to survive in our yard.

If only I could compose them into a fertilizer, Grandma told me something that once.

Good idea. Sometimes other people neglected other creatures living in earth. They needs our attention too.
