Cardboard and Shredders
 
Just a thought. Anybody tried putting cardboard through the Garden shredder
whilst shredding garden stuff and mixing the two that way? Come to that,
anybody put cardboard through the shredder?

My wife's parrots shred all our cardboard in a very efficient
manner :-)

I just roughly tear up cardboard by hand and put it into the compost
bin. It disappears fast enough. Things like cereal boxes etc I just rip
into approx 6 inch squares.

I don't even do that much. I just flatten stuff out. (Worms congregate underneath) Except for large cardboard boxes (2ft square) which I use as receptacles for weeds, then put on top of the heap - it's useful at this time of the year when I'm adding a lot to the heaps - it means I can extend the heap another 2ft higher by building a wall of weed-filled cardboard boxes ;-)
