I'd like to offer a caution. Not all leaves should be used. Walnut, hickory, sweet gum, and a few other types contain "Juglone". This chemical adversely affects or kills many garden veggies, especially the plants of the "Nightshade" family, which includes tomatoes, potatoes, and egg plant.
Having had this chemical destroy my gardens several years ago caused me to grow everything in containers. That's how I chose my handle - ContainerTed.
