We were talking in the weather thread about this - some suggest waiting until it is 10 C overnight - this is to protect the useful bugs and pollinators that are hibernating under your grass and leaves. Bees, for example.

In early spring insects are still in diapause (a state similar to hibernation). They are alive, but not moving. A little digging and you may find bees in the soil that are still waiting for warm weather. This is a time to leave them alone. If you must move garden material, do it gently and place it somewhere so that insects can get out as they warm up.
