i had the same problem with leaves too

i got 3 pallets from a local farmer,they are all spreading fertiliser now

make up a 3 sided box with the front open
if you can get plywood for across the front and line the side with something like old carpet or even old sheets

fill the leaves into it,as the level rises,put more plywood in front

the weight of the leaves will keep compacting the lower levels

you will have lovely rich compost next autumn
