	Leaf mold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leaf mould is a form of compost produced by the breakdown of shrub and tree leaves.
		Due to the slow decaying nature of their lignin (cellulose) content, autumn leaves break down far more slowly than most other compost ingredients, and therefore should be composted separately.
		While not high in nutrient content, leaf mold is an excellent bulky and fibrous soil conditioner.
