If you snarf leaves (the technical term for taking others' rakings from their curbs), be a little cautious about those bags which contain grass clippings. Chances are these contain small amounts of weed- killers which can be problematic if these bags are used in veggy gardens. Shouldn't be a problem in the orchard, tho.

tc, yes I snarf

bumper crop of leaf bags is starting to emerge at the end of driveways.

Yep. Been hauling 'em home as fast as I can pitch 'em in the back of the truck. I try to target yards with predominantly oaks &/or pines, and those where it looks like they chopped & vaccumed them with the mower. Probably need to clean out the bed of the truck and slide my old 'cattle racks' in, so I can haul a bigger load without the bags blowing out on the way home.
Grabbed 4 or 5 bags this morning that I don't know what I'm gonna do with - feels like they're full of chestnut burs - I sure don't want to put them anywhere that I'm gonna be walking barefoot!
