What leaf littler to use??
#1
Southern Live Oak - small leaves

Magnolia - bigger leaves, so you need less of em.

Sea Grape - large circular and flat. It has it's uses. 


You can use any single leaf ya want...well, some may be aromatic or unsuitable in that regard. The rate that all other leaves will disintegrate is so fast, that it doesn't make sense to even use the effort to collect them, IMO. Leaf little composting is ok for microfauna and soil but you def want some longer laster stuff, hence the live oak and magnolia.

the delicate leaves will decompose really fast and some of that is good - decomp for the clean up crew for instance but you absolutely want some of the tougher waxy leaves like magnolia and live oak that will hang around for a while.
