When the Commander and I can get a few moments together we plan on raking the leaves onto a tarp so they can be moved to the chicken coop. Last year putting the leaves in with the chickens proved to be a huge success. The chickens tore the leaves to shreds, no burning or disposal required.
I still hope to store a few bags of leaves in the garage for mid Winter treats. The goats and sheep seem to enjoy eating them now and I bet they will find them a wonderful diversion from a steady diet of hay.
Keeping leaves for treats later is a great idea! I know my guys are busy cleaning up everything they can. Never thought of saving some! :)
