Compost leaves

So Fall seems like it is finally here, and it all came at once. Leaves started dropping like raindrops and are all over our yards and streets now. Leaves are natural (in case you were wondering) and will decompose and go away pretty quickly. However, for those of us who can't stand the leaves and have to rake them all up and put them in the trash immediately...don't! Let these leaves stay in the natural cycle of Earth and don't create more waste than you have to. Compost them! If you have a compost bin, fill it up! If you don't, find a spot in the woods or something for them. Sometimes if you just mow over the leaves so that they're in smaller pieces it doesn't look so bad...just don't throw 'em out! Because how does that make any sense?
