I just rake them all into a binliner sans holes while they're still
moist, pack them down firmly, then tie the binliner and leave it stacked
out of sight for a couple of years. Makes lovely crumbly brown stuff.

Ah, it's 'sans holes' is it?
Bugger...looks like that's my weekend sorted then...rebagging leaf
compost

I'd better get a few beers in then!


You can always recycle that onto the leaves :-)
I don't know that holes are a Bad Thing; I started without them because
it seemed to me the leaves would rot most effectively if they stayed
moist.
