V. sez:
It seems that it might be okay to use the leaves as mulch if you
live in an area that tends to be dry. I notice that those doing this
seem to be from Texas, where borers aren't much of a problem, and it
tends to be hot and dry. Leaf spot needs moisture to survive...

Secane, PA, where we DO have both borers and leaf spot, thank you
