Hi all
so.. I bought my first house last November and wow. so many leaves. I raked a couple of hours a day for a few weeks before I broke down and got a blower. lots of sticks too. I left them on the ground for a couple months after I moved in, so the grass came in where the leaves weren't and didn't where the leaves were. I ended up pushing the leaves around the base of the trees because the soil needs work but if it was all together it would be like 3x5x10 feet big. I'd like to get the leaves composted down instead of hauled away, but if I keep piling them around the trees I won't be able to plant anything around the trees, which I'd like to do.
Next year when the leaves fall, is there some way I can get them to compost in place fast enough that the grass can start coming back?
tl;dr: I have a lot of leaves that I'd like to compost without raking into a pile.
