That's what living in the south will get you!
The leaves were a mix of Red Oak to Pine, all set to be thrown away. Personally, am a fan of compost so I like the free biomass option.

That's awesome. We have a bunch of Magnolias, 1 Japanese Maple and a living Oak. I will have to set some leaves aside for next season. We only added food compost this year and a few cups of store bought night-crawlers.
I also add leaves to my food scraps, layer of leaves and then a layer of food scraps.
Is this good for all types of food bearing plants? We don't have much experience. Last season we planted the cucumbers and squash to close to each other and they slowly choked each other out as the season went on. That was a tummy hurting lesson as we were really enjoying eating both fresh daily.
I know some flowers require nitrogen in the soil, do food plants have the same types of differences in requirements? Any idea?
