英文原文

The idea is to avoid sending bagged up fallen leaves to landfills. Instead, they will naturally decompose over the winter into rich organic matter. The matter also shelters pollinators and other insects. Done correctly, leaving the leaves is one of the best ways to turn yard waste into free fertilizer, which is good for plants, the environment, and saving money.

这个理念是避免将打包好的落叶送往垃圾填埋场。相反，它们会在冬季自然分解，成为丰富的有机物质。这种物质还能为传粉昆虫和其他昆虫提供庇护。如果处理得当，让落叶留在原处是将庭院废弃物转化为免费肥料的最佳方式之一，这对植物、环境和节省资金都有好处。

But it is important to consider the types of leaves that are falling and where they are landing. Whole leaves should not be permitted to remain on walkways, where they could make the path dangerously slippery. They should also not be left on grass lawns, where they are likely to cause disease. Although some grasses can handle a small amount of leaf waste, too much can threaten their health.

但重要的是要考虑正在落下的树叶类型以及它们落在哪里。整片树叶不应被允许留在人行道上，因为它们可能会使道路变得异常滑。同样，它们也不应留在草坪上，因为可能会导致疾病。虽然有些草能够承受少量的落叶，但过多的落叶会威胁到它们的健康。

In areas that experience snow cover, water would become trapped between grass and leaves, that could lead to mold and other fungal infections. In areas without snow, whole leaves that cover grasses block water and sunlight from reaching the soil below.

在经历降雪的地区，水会被困在草和落叶之间，这可能导致霉菌和其他真菌感染。在没有降雪的地区，整片覆盖在草上的落叶会阻挡水分和阳光到达下面的土壤。

Many people choose to break up the leaves using a machine and let the pieces fall between pieces of grass. Then, the pieces break down further in the soil.

许多人选择使用机器将落叶打碎，并让碎片落在草丛之间。然后，这些碎片在土壤中进一步分解。
