Steps to Composting Tree Leaves by Layering with Manure Like Lasagna:

1. Pick up the leaves
2. Get Horse Manure Pile
3. Make current year Lasagna and use last year Lasagna
4. Like a Lasagna keep layering Manure/Leafs till the top
5. Layer a row of tree leaves
6. Layer a row of horse manure to cover leaves
7. Watering as needed based on dryness of leaves
8. Continue layering until all your leaves are covered
