If you're trying to turn a big pile of leaves into leafmould and, like me, you're impatient, you can speed the process along by putting them on the ground and running your lawnmower over them a few times.
It'll make a bit of a mess but it's great fun. And the leaves will be shredded, so you can sweep them up or collect them in your lawnmower's grass bag, place inside a bag with holes in it or a cage of chicken wire, and let the elements do the rest.
