Mulch shredded newspaper

I was thinking of using shredded newspaper to mulch the strawberry
bed.

Anybody try this? Good idea, bad idea

It's years since I've used it but IIRC, it turns almost papier mache
like when watered unless you mix it with something like shredded
leaves/straw.

That was my experience too, it goes into grey glug if applied alone.
