Leaves as surface compost?


Hello List,

I covered my garden, one 12 x 12 raised bed, one 4 x 12 raised bed, with a 
couple feet of maple leaves in the fall. How do I prepare the beds in the 
spring? They have settled down to about 12 inches high, but there is still 
quite a pile of leaves. 

Do I ;

1. Take off all but the blackened bottom layer and till that in?
2. Do I try to till in most of the leaves?

What is my next move?

Thanks for your responses!

Regards,

Dave
