Default Fallen Pine Cones

Hi!

What do most people do with their pine cones when they fall off the
tree?

I thought I would be "natural" and leave them there. So I have for 20
years. But I've noticed that when I step on them, it forces them into
the ground (often somewhat wet and soft) and kills the grass, and then
when I sit on the ground, I always seem to be sitting on a hard pine
cone that is sticking out a little.

Of course they do break down eventually (5 to 15 years?), but what do
most of you do with them when they fall, and what would you do with
all the ones that are poking out of the ground now?

Thanks a lot.
