leaf mold
Leaf mold is a form of compost produced by the fungal breakdown〔(Compost organisms )〕 of shrub and tree leaves, which are generally too dry, acidic, or low in nitrogen for bacterial decomposition.
==Description==
Due to the slow decaying nature of their high carbon content,〔(Compost Chemistry )〕 dry leaves break down far more slowly than most other compost ingredients. This can be overcome either by placing the collected leaves wet in plastic bags (taking care to avoid collecting from areas that may be subject to high levels of pollution, e.g., roadsides), or in specially constructed wire bins, to encourage fungal action. To accelerate this fungal breakdown, it is useful to keep the leaves wet and avoid the drying effects of wind. The traditional wire enclosure may slow down the process by allowing the contents to dry out unless it is lined with cardboard or similar material.
