I would be surprised if leaf mulch was ready to use yet, it normally takes a good year for the leaves to break down to the point where they can be used as part of a compost mix.

Oh well then it's probably not Moon growe....it just looked ok..Im sure soon I will know what Im doing..lol thanks:)

Inspect the contents of the bags or whatever you put them in to rot down - if its ready to use, it should look like black soil. If it doesn't look like that, leave for longer. Mine takes 2 years to get to that stage.
If they're partially rotted and you don't mind the look of them, you could spread them as a mulch though, but best to use something like Growmore beneath the mulch to compensate for lost nitrogen in the leaf breakdown process.

One way to make use of leaves Kate is to put them under shrubs if you have any. I put some between a Ribes and Carpentaria in one of those open weave hessian sacks, experiment on my part. I was astonished to see a flat sack after only a few weeks. My Hazel leaves go under my Camellias as they are near to one another. They have all mysteriously vanished. Even tough old magnolia leaves put over the fence into my shrubs, by my neighbour, are mostly skeletonised by now. If they go in bags I have nowhere to put them. Trees recycle their leaves in a natural habitat so I just nudge them along a bit.

thankyou everyone for your comments :)

We spread ours on the lawn and mow them. They break down a lot more quickly than leaving them whole.

And you then do what Steragram?
