I would be cautious about this. You might get some anaerobic
decomposition going. You would know because the stuff would smell
really bad when you opened the bag.

Ok, but I've done this with dozens of bags, and NEVER had a problem with
stink! In fact, the smell is very pleasing due to the amount of
chlorophyll. We are not talking about kitchen garbage here. :-P

The only worry I ever had was when the bags cooked so well, they got hot!

I dumped some of them into the emu pen for bedding one day and they
literally started smoking. ;-) I wet them down again to prevent a
possible spontanious combustion event.

They were fresh bags that had never been wetted yet, as I had intended
to use them as bedding.

Bags of leaves are fabulous for counteracting muddy pens during the
rainy season, and the emus loved the leaves so much, they bedded down in
them every night until the leaves composted down to nothing.
