I'm an American living in Panama. Seeing all the dead leaves support vibrant jungle had me wondering if all this fuss about raking was necessary. Thanks for your expertise!

My father keeps stubbornly raking and putting the leaves in the compost box. I have been telling him for a few years how good they are for the garden, so he at least stopped putting them in the trash :)

we just let them be, if it will ever be a too thick layer, I guess we can always use them as mulch in the garlic bed.
