Craig: I wouldn't use them in bonsai soil, but they are rich in acid and aid roots
in getting nutrients. They're especially good as a mulch for azaleas.

Dave,
Please feel free to come to Ohio and rake up all the oak leaves you'd like
off my property. I never got them all up before snows this year and come
spring they'll be rotting away ( along with the lawn!)
They are like little strips of leather laying on the grass!

Same here. I've got a big pile of them in the side yard. I hadn't thought of
using them as an organic component in soil, but I have no lack of them.
