How about Maple leaves ??
I have a TON of them in HUGE piles in the back of my yard.
Are they any good for flower beds ?

God I hope so, I'd finally have a use for them all !!

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.
