Leaf Mold

Three things I found interesting about this video on Leaf Mold is leaf mold takes up to a year to decompose but is an effective way to get rid of fallen leaves. Waxy leaves are not ideal to use because they take longer to decompose. Pine needles create an acid compost. Two things I will look for next time I am in the garden is for fallen leaves to use to make leaf mold and which leaves look best to use. One question I have is, how does leaf mold differ from regular organic matter compost?
