I have used uncomposted leaves for years and they have definately improved the soil where I use them. Most of the plants I grow like an acid soil and I have not had any problems. When the Oak tree leaves fall in the early spring everyone bags them up and puts them out by the road for collection. I drive around and load my truck up. Free mulch! I easily collected two hundred bags this year and I am down to about fifty now.

Thanks,

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
