Default Leaves for insulation

There was an old man in a trailer
Who was once Navy man and a sailor
He went and Asked on usenet of the nation
A problem it was not much the tempation
And now, he has a trailer
Full of insectious infestation!

A friend of mine asked if it's practical to use bagged leaves as
insulation.
Under a trailer "mobile home". My first thought is that the leaves will
decompose, and make a mess. He says to catch them when the leaves are
fairly
dry.


Bags of leaves do have insulating value, however they have even greater
vermin factor and by spring you'll probably have a full infestation.
