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?


Worms love cardboard in particular. Wonder if bleached and printed on
paper has negative effects on bugs eating it.
