Around my old neighborhoods back East people would bag their leaves for the town to gather at certain times but I would just go around and pick them up for my garden. Several tons went into my compost/garden bed over the years and a lot were already shredded from the mowers. Never pass up free compost stuff!
Nice! Yeah, I love getting leaves from people in my area--I do wish they would use them on their own land but I love getting the leaves!
