I blow a lot of the oak leaves into the landscape beds. I blow a good bit of leaves into a long, thick row in the middle of the yard and then mulch those with my lawnmower/bagger. Those will either go into my raised garden or into my compost pile. My next door neighbor also has lots of oaks and since he bags those leaves up each fall and puts them out at the curb for pickup, I tell him to leave some bags at our property line. I will use his leaves. Why have them go to waste?
