Default Off topic garden question for the hams please??

I know, off topic but I do get good advice from this group. I will take the
mud slinging,,, hope it is mixed in with your regular good information.


I have a back yard garden, I live in Southern Ontario Canada. I roto till it
and we grow vegetables like tomato, peppers,

My friends were telling me I should mix in some leaves, my garden is about
20 feet by 20 feet.

I collected about 50 big bags of grinded up leaves and roto tilled them all
into my garden. Very light and fluffy now and soft and full of broken down
leaves, mostly Maple Leafs and some other varieties.

My question is what should I do? Should I mix in manuer? or furtalizer?
Should I do something with this mixture now? Will it be ok on its own after
a few years ? will these leaves breakdown on their own? should I put more
leaves in? I think 50 bags is a lot.

Any advice or tips is much appreciated. Thank you 73s
