At the end of every season i just push everything over and cover everything with hay and leaves. I get crazy amounts of volunteer plants every season. I systematically remove any troublesome or diseased plants and leaves and burn them so this is not a concern. Plus all the nutrients in your plants go back into the soil as they break down. During the season as I prune, I just throw it onto my garden paths as long as it's healthy so that it can just break down and feed the soil. I keep it out of the actual bed so that it doesn't rot there. It looks messy at times but usually decomposes so fast that I don't even notice it soon after. Most of my effort in the garden is focused on feeding and improving the soil, the rest follows. I throw all my organic kitchen waste, coffee/tea, etc all year long. My soil is full of worms and mushrooms. My plants are healthy and produce is robust, and i dont use any commercial fertilizer except organic fish emulsion. Healthy plants are more likely to resist pest and disease… Everything becomes so much easier if you just follow mother nature's lead.
With all plants? I wonder if I should do that with an invasive chicory that popped up all over my raised beds.. I've got a feeling it will come back for revenge lol

I just learned this very recently, being a habitual puller. It was a real “facepalm moment.”🤦🏽♀️
Sometimes just can't help it
Brilliant news, how nice
Oh yeah!…
What if youre using the soil to plant another crop?
What about potato or carots?
The voice!
not if they have root knot nematodes
Thank you!💗🙌🏻
Mileage may vary when growing potatoes.
I wish i had seen your video 5 years ago 😊

How about root blveg
Thank u very useful info. I always wondered about it U helped clarify ❤

I usually do it like this but not with cale. Have had to much leathetjackets and crane flies this year. Up to 500 larvae per cale root!
Those pepper plants you cut can regrow next year….
It can be good to pull occasionally though to check for any issues and root knot nematode
the invasive plants will just regrow
and Free Falastin!

BUT…. some plants DO have big and dense root bulbs that can cause young new plants to have trouble to find room for their own roots

The lost boys be gardening now?
