I'm wondering if anyone has used shredded paper as mulch?

Heaps of it is chucked out at workplaces all over the country and it would
be
good for the environment if I could put it to good use.

One downside I can think of it is that if it is too thick, it could
actually
prevent water getting to the plants.

Thoughts anyone?


I have used paper in my compost.
I leave it in the compost heap for awhile.
It breaks down pretty quick.
cheers
