I rake them out of the beds, mulch with the mower, sucking them into a big cart I tow behind the mower, then I compost them. I have 4, 10 foot diam. x 5 foot tall bins I use. I let them compost for two years and use the "gold" in all of the beds and veg gardens.
It make everything grow like crazy!

m0rec0wbell	Posted Nov 3rd, 2009 at 7:04PM Illegal to burn in my city. WAY too much for mulch or compost in our yard. We rake it, then push it all the way to the street out front, where city trucks come once a week and make a giant pile. Then the city picks it up and takes it to the city compost heap.
