...
it is that time of year again..... and since i live at the end of a
cul-de-sac....i get covered with everyone's leaves.....
since i like to veggie garden.... what is the best way to store the
shredded
tree leaves that i get from my yard.... the garden is too wet to dig them
in.... can i rototil them in next spring ?? should i be adding anything
to
them (ie: fertilizer) or just let them winter over ??

You can simply gather them into a pile and leave them all winter. If you
want to contain them, a simple way is to get a length of cheap wire fence
material and make a cylinder by tying the ends together. Put the leaves in
the wire bin. Next year you can rototil them into the garden. They may
need more time than the winter to decompose. I generally alternate piles,
tilling in the older pile.
