“However, when it rains, they are slick, so sometimes I just leave a patch next to the house all the way to the door.”
Before you caution me, again, I’m not walking on wet oak leaves. Mine are like yours - everywhere covering the whole upper deck and ground. They do just as yours do - keep falling all the time so I leave them alone except for a path. When it’s dry maybe in late Feb., I can get them up and in the composter.
OK. Good to know. I do tend to be a worry wart ya know?
