| My friend, who is organic, has so many acorns that he doesn't know what to do with them! Should he leave them, taking the chance that some will take root & grow more trees where he doesn't need them, or rake them up? I mentioned he really needed a compost pile, and he could probably throw them in there. But I'm not sure, since I don't have that problem. What should he do wtih all those acorns? |

My experience has been that everywhere an acorn drops on bare ground it'll sprout...I spent last Spring digging them up.

| In areas where you mow regularly, there will be no problem as one getting cut down several times will finish it off with no troubles. If it's in an area where you can't mow, raking them up and composting them should be just fine. |

| Another idea is to collect them and believe it or not, sell them on Ebay!!! I have seen several auctions for acorns. You probably won't make a ton of money, but they will probably go to good use..... |
