Mind you it would be best to have a proper compost bin and mix leaves with
grass cuttings , shreded paper , veg peelings and shredded prunings


we have three, they are all buried under a huge pile of "garden stuff" - the
house had been on the market for ages when we bought it and I think that the
previous occupiers had stopped doing anything to the garden when they first
decided to sell
