I have found the shredded leaves need to be wet to compost in my raised beds. Lasts year was exceptionally dry and the shredded leaves just sat there. Under cover, is there any moisture? Have you considered going year round with growing cold tolerant greens, carrots, etc. Wish I were in your shoes!

I am concerned about using curbside leaves going forward. EAB , the Emerald Ash Borer has migrated to the outlying areas of Omaha, and the tree services can't keep up with the demand to apply pesticides to Ash trees in hopes of keeping the little borers away. Do not need any additional crap in the food I eat. Any way to find out what you are getting?
