Leaves

It's that time of year again, when leaves fall in great number from
deciduous trees. What do you do with yours? I think the town I live in
will collect them free. I'm not sure whether they offer leaf mold or
compost to local residents. I should probably ask. I've been keeping
mine (separate from the compost heap) and hoping they'll decompose. I
should have a look at last year's today and see how they're getting on.

We put ours on the compost heap interlayered with buckets of food compost.

Ann Arbor collects them twice during the season. We just have to rake
them out into the street the day before pick up and they sweep them up
and take them to the collection site where they are composted.

Re #2: do you then get free leafmold or compose from the city?

They sell it back to the people who don't want to make their own.

...and again this year, as soon as it dries up enough to rake
some of them up.

If your compost smells bad, I think there must be some-
thing wrong with it. What are you putting in there?

Not sure those qualify. I'd expect them to rot down any-
way, though if the seeds survive you may end up with apple
tree seedlings growing in your compost. :-)
