How to make compost from Oak leaves?

Presto Products GKL0951-6 Geobin Composting System
Oak leaves are very stubborn and take long time to decompose.  Oaks leaves must be shredded well before throwing in  the compost bin.  See how I use my lawn mower to shred oak leaves before composting them.  This way the leaves are shredded in to small pieces and also volume is reduced.  You do not have to empty the bags more often.  Add some green too.  I shredded my tomato plants along with oak leaves.
