There is also the problem of dog faeces mixed up with the
leaves,which
can be unpleasant,but again not as usual these days as most dog
owners
seem to use bags.
Does it matter if some faeces ends up in the leaf
mould,assuming that
one regular washes ones hands?

I throw all our dogs faeces onto the compost heap which is mostly
leaves. I always thought of it as a good activator.
This reminds me I must raise the height of the compost bin frame
as I filled it to the present top last weekend and a lot more
leaves have fallen this week.
