Do you really want some vines? >> No Allen was just kidding but I did want to give you a suggestion on what to do with them. There is a little herb farm not to far from my house and the owner gives workshops on making things. I signed up for the grapevine wreath making class. She had us trek out to the north forty and we cut our own branches down and then the really hard part started with the braiding and constructing the wreath. A lot of work but I was happy with my end result. So do you burn your vines? We are able to burn where I live and I have so many darn leaves that I have to. I'm bad and don't really compost but even with the amount of leaves I have I could never have enough space to compost them all. Kris P Z 5 IL
