That is what I do on my property, but I just pile the leaves and leave them there. I do not have the time and energy to do it the right way. They would be frozen for a good chunk of the year. I do not think they have time to heat up before our winters (zone 5 in Ontario). It takes about a year for the leaves that are not shredded. Sometimes a bit more, but the shredded stuff will be ready the following summer.
