I'm a leaf thief and I'm not alone

Last year, I started stealing bags of leaves from my neighbor's curbs. To add to my (misguided) homemade compost cans. I upped the ante when I found out a neighbor had a Sweet Gum tree and stole bags of their seeds from their curb also. With the intention of using them as mulch around young plants. To thwart squirrels and bunnies.

I'm getting more serious about setting up an actual working compost pile and doing research on it. I found a forum at GardenWeb and in their FAQ is a lingo guide. In it, it says:

"Leaf Thief

Someone who prowls their neighborhood (usually under cover of darkness) "rescuing" OPBL from the curbside."

OPBL is "Other People's Bagged Leaves"



Does anyone else here a leaf thief? Or compost at all?

, sorry I don't but you can have my leaves in the fall if you want.

As long as I rake them first, right?

I'll rake them and you can have them!

Greeny, we get a lot of leaves, you're more than welcome to them!!

Consider it a "leaf donation".
