Weeded and covered

Finished weeding another section this weekend and managed to get it covered up,but what I did was weed as much I could then cover with leafs then put some sheeting over it. I don't think i have the time before new year to dig it over, so hoping wetting the leafs and covering it over it will rot down a little. If not i will dig it in next year and see how it goes,I have some leaf mould from last year which I've made and will be on the soil next year,if it doesn't work I know yet year not to do it again you have to try these things.
