What to do with the debris in the garden before"No Dig"?

Help~~~ I don't know why there are so many small pieces of broken bricks and rocks here and there on the two sides of the garden. What shall I do with them after clearing them into a pile???

Do I need to remove wooden sticks and twigs on the ground too before laying down the cardboard?

If you have space in a tucked away corner then you can just pile up the rocks and bricks and leave them as wildlife will find it a useful shelter.

Yes - remove loose debris before laying the cardboard for no dig Smile
Sticks etc could be mixed into rock pile if you decide to do that.

I have a quite a small garden and the shady corner has a log pile in it. I have a good amount of wildlife (lizards, frogs, toads, hedgehogs etc) and I'm sure the log pile helps with that!

Thank you, @BewareTheBeardedDragon. Good to know I'm doing the right thing, not wasting my energy!
