Default Shredded Paper in Compost Pile

Any limitations on how much? My compost pile is newly started and I've
not composted in far too many distant years past so wanted to double

Just one caution, paper is very, very carbon intense, so you should also
add an extra dose nitrogen-rich material to compensate. Lots of fresh
grass, for example, or some urea (or other high-N fertilizer).


And that's free of charge.
