Default Fall leaves vs. manure:

Hey every, hope all is well.

I recently read that if you over-turn your garden in the fall with fallen leaves in all stages of decompostion, the nutrients released are better than animal manure.

Is this true?

I've been doing this every year - emptying my entire compost bin into my garden every fall. Seems too easy > ?
