Jean ....

I mulch with shredded leaves twice a year. It only took one wind storm to convince me that shredded leaves were the way to go in my garden. They stay put ...

When I started the garden, I had dead soil. The shredded leaves were sufficient to bring it back to life. I have a no till garden and have never tilled the leaves into the soil. I still have plenty of worms.
