If we had leaves, I'd add them too - but we are surrounded by cedar and hemlocks and have very few alders around.
Semi-composted cardboard on the garden paths gets raked into the beds too.

Coffee grounds from a local coffee shop. I add about 1500 pounds of coffee grounds (with filters) every fall to 5 large beds. Worms love the filters.
