The best compost is made from leaves shed in the fall. For the best results, shred the leaves and wet them down and keep them in a pile or better in a compost bin. Turning them occasionally also speeds up the process.

Alternating layers of carbon-rich compostables with nitrogen-rich recyclables in one procedure and confining or spreading leaf litter in another are ways to make compost from leaves shed by trees. In the first case, proper levels of heat, light and moisture along with frequent layer-turning and proper macro-organism and micro-organism presences produce dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter from such compost bin, heap, pile, pit components as fallen leaves. In the second scenario, fallen leaves will decompose naturally all by themselves, either in an aerated pile or pit or spread as a light ground cover or mulch over the ground's surface.
