Oh! Sorry. :-)

I usually pick up bags of all kinds of leaves along side the road that
folks are wasting, including oak leaves, in the fall to protect my
underground bulb gardens over the winter. I will just dump those as is
over the cannas and irises, then wet them down. By spring, they have all
pretty much dissapeared, even the oak.

I leaf the remaining ones in the black bags and wet them, then pile them
in a corner of the yard and just forget about them over the winter. By
spring, I have good leaf compost.

I'd say 3 to 4 months.
