Create your own compost. It's easy to cook up your own compost. Just layer organic materials -- garden clippings, dry leaves, kitchen vegetable scraps, shredded paper -- and a dash of soil to create a concoction that turns into humus, the best soil builder around.

directrix · Answer

If this were my question to answer, I would go with grass clippings. 

I am thinking that the autumn leaves lost the nitrogen and turned brown.

Go with what you think.
