Are trimmed leaves good for ur plant?

I've been doin some clipping on my girls and was wondering, if i like sprinkle the leaves on the soil, would it be like a natural N boost? Or would it be bad somehow?

Drifter stop trying to find the fastest way down the mountain and work on your grammar a bit. Rich I'm assuming you know what you're doing when you trim your plants; so I'm not going to address it. As for using your leaves for compost, I don't imagine it would hurt much. In nature when the plant sheds its leaves there isn't a maid that runs around cleaning them up. However I do agree with drifter that if you're too over zealous then you might set yourself up for a fungal problem.

Just trimmin some big leaves off that're blockin new top growth. Don't necissarily need the fert, just hate to waste such a good lookin leaf.

If i were you i would compost the leaves separately, its bacteria that break down the leaves and release the Nitrogen. If you store all of your clippings in a barrel and mix it with dehydrated cow manure and water, it will make some pretty yummy plant food.

I do it and dont have problems so do what you want, and take what some of these people say with a grain of salt

I may have to try that sicarli. Lol, I must say I had absolutely NO idea that there were different kinds of cow manure, heh heh. How long does it take to break it down?
