I'd use them as general potting compost - leaf mould seems far too
high
quality to use as a mulch. I use my compost heap for mulching - not
so
much to keep the weeds down, but to improve the soil.

Kay,
Do you use it on its own, or do you mix it with something?
Do you enrich it with fertiliser?
What do you pot up into it?
For how long do you let it mature before using it in this way?

If neat leafmould is a replacement for peat, why on earth is it not
on the market? There must be an awful lot wasted each year.
