Pre Composting Shredded Paper.
Today I became the proud owner of a paper shredder. I have been wanting one of those for ages. Free compost from my local newspaper baron! Oh joy. I have been fondly anticipating this day and have been saving up my waste deliberately for some time now. Bulks up a bit dunnit. So, we come to the nub of the problem. I figure I can pre-compost the small mountain of shreddings coming my way soon in a semi controlled environment prior to mixing with general compost material for a longer decompose. I plan to do this by adding an accelerant, some water, perhaps some worms and a handful or two of ready fermented compost and dirt to the council provided eminently biodegradable especially for the purpose plastic bag(s) they are going to be in. The questions a- How long before the bags crumble to dust? They may have to live in partial sunlight. How much water? I was thinking of 1:1 by weight but it is a guess. How many worms, Some or Lots and depending on the answer to the first question, do they need holes? How much dirt? 1:1 again. -- steve auvache A Bloo one with built in safety features |
