EvilPixie 16 Nov 11:36am, 16 Nov 2024 59,321 posts	0 EvilPixie I was wondering about leaves and the “compost” created by leaving them to rot down There are loads of leaves about (just not in my garden!) Is it worth going and collecting some bags full and letting them rot down for use next year?
Gooner 16 Nov 11:39am, 16 Nov 2024 22,799 posts	0 Gooner They do tend to make good compost, especially for veg but they take a bit of work to compost properly. Just turning over and aerating every 3 or 4 weeks.
EvilPixie 16 Nov 11:41am, 16 Nov 2024 59,323 posts	0 EvilPixie Oh I thought it was stick in a black bag (with a few holes!) and leave! Might rethink 😂
Velociraptor 16 Nov 11:42am, 16 Nov 2024 72,010 posts	0 Velociraptor Yes, though it can take a couple of years for leaves to rot down fully.
Gooner 16 Nov 11:44am, 16 Nov 2024 22,800 posts	0 Gooner You can put it in a bag, I don't because I'm a plastic avoider where possible. Need to keep it moist, poke holes and ideally add some nitrogen into the mix too (grass clippings, manure, compost maker etc.)
