Has any one had success doing this? I've tried on several
occasions with
very little compost and lots of leaves looking like they just
fell yesterday
after a year's time. I've tried adding water after filling the
bag and
bagging wet leaves. I use partially shredded leaves from my
mower.

Composting in bag will result in an anerobic process, which will
tend to be smelly.

Try mixing in a sprinkle of dirt to innoculate the leaves with
the necessary bacteria. Mix in some lawn clippings to help it
along. Better yet, do it in a bin so air can get at it.
