    The decompose into dirt. So put them where dirt already is, don’t leave them where dirt is not.

    Yup. I’ll clear them off the sidewalk. I don’t see any reason to more than that.

      I clear them a reasonable amount away from my house, because they may not be litter but they are a fire hazard where I live. But they still get to naturally decompose in dedicated spots.

        I had to think about this because in my town they are soggy and wet 99% of the time. Then I remembered last year I stepped on one that crunched.

        Oh yeah that’s true. I don’t let them pile up right against the house. I’m not going to rake and bag them though. Trees have been here a lot longer than we have, they probably know what they’re doing better than we do.

    I live in the city but I get birds that are usually only found in the forest because they like to forage in the fallen leaves! It does make a difference.
