oak leaves

I get oak leaves drifting in from down the street mixing in with my acer leaves. I can't be bothered waiting for them to compost down so I pour a layer over my veg beds and rotovate them in. The blades chop them up nicely and I follow with a thick layer of manure rotovated in, which hurries the composting process in-ground. by spring its lovely stuff and full of worms - until I rotovate again. C'est la vie.
