Peat, provided that you are not averse to using it.

Worth making your own leaf mould though if you have a lot of leaves.

I use my green bin for making leaf mould as I compost more than the
council would allow me to put in their green bin. Takes about three
years with a complete inversion every year. A full green bin of leaves
will rot down in a year to a black dustbin and a half of still rough
rotted leaves. It will work in plastic bags too but harder work.
