burying them will help them break down faster if
you have worms and moisture.

there is very little reason to burn, but for
some reason people think it is a good thing
to do.

i use leaves to smother areas i hope to replant
later with something else. right now i have a
start on a replacement strawberry patch that
should be ready in a year or two. i don't think
i'll be able to get any more leaves down this
season, but who knows -- the weather may change
and we get some warm days and i can end up with
more leaves to put down.
