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).
I'd not make paper a main ingredient, but it's easy to keep on hand to
add a bit at a time. For instance, after that really rainy week when the
lawn had gotten away from you and you have an abundance of grass
clippings...


Thank you that gives me an idea of how to work with this resource.
I'd hate to waste it if I could use and benefit from it.
Now.. about teabags...?



Milk and two sugars, cheers love.
