     Instead of driving around town looking for bags of leaves, I put up a sign on the corner of my property that says: "Pine Needles Wanted."  I used to ask for leaves and needles and got up to 30 cu. yds. per season.  My 1.2 acre garden now has 6 to 14 inches of black dirt atop what used to be blow-sand.  I've stopped raising vegies and am doing predominantly fruit so now my sign says; "Pine Needles Wanted (no leaves)"  and I get all I want, nothing bagged so I can see what I'm getting.  I used to accept from everyone but only from the landscape maintenance people anymore and they bring it in by the pick-up truck load.
