Grinding, shredding, mowing the leaves helps a lot. Using whole leaves can cause them to mat together. I learned this the hard way. Once they become matted together - they get wet, turn black, and stay wet. This happened the first year we added oak leaves. We put the whole leaves on the ground and turned it over/into the soil with a shovel.

A tiller is much easier, and helps shred the leaves even more.
