Probably better to gather them up and put them in a mulch pile for at least one
season of curing. Otherwise, these leaves can leach nitrogen out of the soil as
they
break down. It's also less messy.

g'day esti,

yeh leave 'em there that's what nature does, i'd go a step further and
when the leaves have stopped falling i'd mulch over the top of them
with mulch hay or the like. keep the nutrient cycle going.
