How can I effectively use leaf mulch in my vegetable garden to improve soil quality and promote healthy plant growth?

To effectively use leaf mulch in your vegetable garden, spread a layer of shredded leaves around your plants. The mulch will help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and add nutrients to the soil as it breaks down. This will improve soil quality and promote healthy plant growth. Make sure to replenish the mulch as needed to maintain its benefits throughout the growing season.
