The boss of the house has said that they will not compost quickly, maybe

them out or put them on the bonfire?

Hi Alan,
I have always found the leaves of all and any trees rot down at the same rate. Just make sure they are wetted before adding to the bin, ideally you should layer them with vegetable waste. This will ensure that the breakdown products of the vegetables saturate the leaves. I always use a compost accelerator to speed up the process.
Bosses are people who never quite made it as workers!
PS:- I hope my boss never reads this comment!
