Keep the oak leaf pile moist with a misting nozzle and in about 2 weeks they will slump down and start to decompose by themselves. It takes that long with continual moisture for them to start to decompose. |

No leaves are bad for the compost. If that were the case, the forests would be in serious trouble. |

I've, in the past run my oak leaves thru a leaf shredder machine called a Flotron?,it's a bit loud,but it does a really good job. |
