How can you recycle or do something productive with the dried up leaf that have fallen from the trees to?

Question

...the ground? ...And NOT just trashing them! BE CREATIVE.

Answer 1

if people can figure out a cost effective way to mass process cellulose into ethanol...things like leaves would certainly be fine to process....after any sugars are taken out, the leaves would be a great soil builder...or maybe even turned into a rough paper----mixing with many different fibers along with paper in the processing

Answer 2

just rake them into a pile around the trees they fell from. this creates a landscaped look, keeps the roots warm through the winter and is even a little fertilizer.

Answer 3

is composting, trashing? Also lining flower/plant beds for those susceptible to the cold.
