So mostly I just pile leaves on as thick as I can in the Fall in my backyard veggie garden bed. By the spring it settles down. I will plant my tomatoes in there just as it is. Simply scrape aside a spot to plant each plant and leave the rest as is. The earthworms come and help break down the leaves. My really simple method of composting but it works!
