Need to speed up leaf compost?
I have lots of trees on my property and every fall I rake up lots of leaves from my driveway, walkway, and small lawn. I have tried composing them, but I never have enough grass and kitchen waist to even out the ratio.
I have visited two local coffee houses and I pick up there left over coffee grinds and that helps the pile out for about a week or two.
Is there anything else I can do to help speed up the composting? Fall is on its way and I haven't even finished composting last fall (or the fall befor that!) leaves yet! O.o
It stays moist
I stir it every week or so
go getcha some alfalfa… rabbit food…and DO shred your leaves if at all possible…. but put a layer of leaves and then throw out some alfalfa pellets, another layer of leafs, then water it…. keep on layering…. the alfalfa will provide your 'greens' to get the pile cookin'!!!….our Master Gardener class made a chicken wire basket about four feet tall by four ft wide and put nothing BUT leaves and alfalfa pellets and water and we had very nice compost by spring!!!….

Bruce Deuley & Bob Webster – Compost Tea (1 of 9)
An entertaining and insightful tag team effort from gardener & radio host Bob Webster & organic specialist & radio host Bruce Deuley. The subject is compost tea and how you can make a brewer yourself for less than $35. It was a bit chilly, but got pretty warm once the pavilion was filled to capacity. I had a laugh out loud moment when Bruce walked in (before I started filming) and was offered a compost tea handout by a nice lady (who didn’t know it was Bruce). Bruce was a sport and said it would help him sound like he knows what he’s talking about. Good times!
Bruce’s tea bucket design placed 2nd as judged by Dr. Elaine Ingham (http://www.soilfoodweb.com/). This is impressive considering other contenders tea makers range from $1000 and up!
Here is Bruce’s guide for the DIY compost tea maker: http://dchall.home.texas.net/organic/teamaker/

Owner is responsible for all repairs, damages and losses after leaving the seller’s possession since seller can not guarantee the upkeep and care of such a valuable item.
Seller is not responsible for any typos or errors in adding totals, it is the responsibility of the educated car salesman, who does these things on his job daily, to make sure the contract and all figures are accurate. Remember the seller is just an uneducated farmer.
If the owner decides to put such a prized possession on his table, ownership will revert back to the original owner after all processing, packaging have been completed and all fee’s has been paid for by the purchaser.
