This seems like a very sound overview of composting successfully. I have tried several of these techniques with success, myself. I have never needed to invest in a leaf shredder, though I live in a different climate, and I mostly get pine straw in my yard. I would definitely be willing to try some of the 'heat performance' techniques.
