Oak leaves contain (apart from the high acid) a compound that inhibits the growth of many plant varieties. It is not productive to put uncomposted/undecomposed oak leaves into your garden if they will not have broken down by planting time in the spring. I did one year, and a some of my vegetables -most notably broccoli- I forget which others- went into a month long funk. I didn't have a clue about it until I read a scientific paper on the subject, and then it all made sense.
