Leaf mold compost is a simple process that allows you to break down your fallen leaves for future use in gardens and flower beds, and composting them is a common and productive practice. Leaf mulch absorbs water, so you can use it to assist with erosion control in some areas. It is effective as a soil conditioner, creating an environment that attracts earthworms and good bacteria. It is a cold composting process, as opposed to a regular compost pile that breaks materials down through heat. As such, it takes longer for leaves to decompose to the appropriate point of use.
