Gather them up and put them in bin bags, I added some, er em... pee to
them a few times and got some lovely loam after about a year. Now I
gather them into huge mounds, as I have too many trees compared to the
few I had in England. I cover the mounds with soil and the old spent
compost from all the various pots and leave it. Next Spring I should
have enough for about 50-60 pots and baskets.

Thanks for all your replies. Trouble with Maple leaves is they are so woody, it takes an age for them to rot down. does bagging them accelerate this process??
