I like the cut and drop method. Basically that’s what I do. I’m getting too old to turn a pile of compost and it makes sense to leave it to decompose in the garden. That’s what trees in the forest do, they nourish themselves. Thank you for giving me permission to cut and drop, now I don’t feel so lazy.💚🙃 I’m always telling my husband to work smarter not harder💚🙃 you have beautiful gardens!💚🙃
No compost bins in a forest.... Now if I have mulch on the soil surface I will scrape it away(most of the time), and put my chopped material directly on the soil surface and cover it back up with the mulch, or if I have collected some household wastes, I will bury that in the garden. Haven't been given any logs yet so I have not done a HugelKultur yet.
Great idea but it takes years for things to compost themselves here where I live, so all that matter just attracts slugs and bugs you don't want, unfortunately.

I newly working on a yard for the first time without any experience. Can I ask how to cut the dry leaves and small branches? Thank you🧡
I don't cut the leaves - leave them on the ground and worms do that for you.
That's the I always did.
