The best thing to do in a situation like this is to shred your leaves with a lawn mower first, then spread them out. By creating a smaller leaf size, they can then decompost much faster and easier. If you don't have access to a mower, then at least try breaking them up with a firm rake. Hope this helps! Hilary Hi!

I have used them as mulch, yet noticed that they are getting really clumpy wet and don't really decompost.
