Many people find it extremely important to have time to tidy up the area before the onset of winter.
However, sometimes you can see that experienced gardeners do not do the usual cleaning in the garden.
The reason is not laziness at all: they have their own reasons for this.
What do they consist of?
Compost without any effort
It is worth understanding that plant residues and even weeds will have time to decompose during late autumn and winter and become excellent compost.
The composition and quality of the soil will improve without your efforts.
For beneficial insects
Many people leave their gardens uncleaned in order to create favorable conditions for pollinating insects to overwinter. Of course, pests can also overwinter, but for this purpose the garden is treated.
Also, an unkempt garden will help maintain the population of predatory insects that will help you in the fight against pests.
Natural insulation
If you do not remove leaves and other plant debris, perennial crops will not face the problem of cold. In this case, they will be protected from frost naturally.
