Agree with moongrowe, the fallen leaves are probably down to Blackspot so avoid composting them.

Do you not have to recycle your compostable waste, paper etc? Perhaps you have a 'brown bin' to send stuff to the recycling in or several boxes.

If the leaves are blotchy best to put in your green bin for the council to compost rather than in your own compost which wont get so hot.
