New question: When you have really finely shredded leaves, is it beneficial to just bury them in the garden right now instead of waiting until spring? Would it help them break down faster? The stuff I shredded yesterday is finer than pine bark fines ...really fine consistency for the most part. I was thinking the worms and beneficials in the main garden could help break it down further so the bed is in better shape come Spring. Thoughts?

I still have a shredded leaf pile from the lawn mower, but it is pieces, not tiny shreds like this. That one won't be ready any time soon (I think)
