Compost from garden can be collected to make the soil more healthy.
"In addition, organic matter improves soil by stimulating or feeding the life of the soil. It provides nutrients to bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and other organisms in the soil, which in turn recycle the nutrients into forms that are readily avail-able for plants to absorb through their roots.
Organic matter also helps to prevent soil and wind erosion by binding sandy soil particles together. Organic matter also prevents caking, cracking, and water run-off that occurs when clay soil dries out."

Deaf gardener Glen stood in the compost pile covered with lots of withered leaves.
He explained about compost, its advantages and how to collect by which tools. He taught using sign language and students enjoyed learning.
Students started to remove the leaves first.
At the bottom of the compost, you would find levels of compost.
Collecting them onto the wheelbarrow, carrying them to the beds.
Mixing them using fork.
