Are these solutions good for my compost?

Why go to the extra work? Just compost them with the other material.

What are you currently doing with your fallen leaves?

The best compost is a mix of green and brown. It provides nutrients and soil structure.

Unless you want a serious exercise unit, don’t bother. Just throw stuff on the pile. Actually, having several piles is useful; one that is ripe and ready and rich; one in the process of composting and the third as a starter, like the baby bear.

I rake all of my leaves into a big pile next to my composter—then from Fall until next end of summer, I keep adding batches of them into the compost. By end of summer, they are gone and then I start again. No hole, no bother. I think there are enough on my pile that they don’t really blow around so much—they stay pretty much in place until I scoop them up and put them in the composter.

You might want to cover the pile with something to insulate. Heat accelerates breakdown. Like someone else says you need to balance green with brown. You will also want to mix/stir the pile periodically to aerate. Why do you want to soak the leaves first? I am not seeing the benefit of doing that but maybe you know something I don’t.
