    I live on a very open piece of land now (just over an acre, 3 trees that lose their leaves, I don't even rake in the fall) but my parents have LOTS of trees, every year they just rake all their leaves into the woods (mostly Oak and Maple). They don't turn it over or anything.

    Can I just go take the leaves from the woods and throw them in the garden or would that cause more issues?

    Do I need to do anything before I can add these to the garden?
