I have yet to cut down my ferns. I want to wait until they turn brown, but they are taking their sweet time.<br /><br />As for your leaf bounty, although I've never done it, leaf mould came to mind. When I looked it up, it looks as if your leaves would be perfect as you don't need to chop them up and they should be damp: http://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/home-garden/gardening/advice-tips/soil-improvement/how-to-make-leaf-mould.
