I have a bunch of stuff on my burn pile already, so bring a twelve pack and your paper and we'll make it a party!
@TheWizard : I appreciate your generous offer, thanks, but no . I've been trying for years to keep dd#1 from creating a burn pile and then burning it. She has 15 acres and can't make a pit or trough for old wood and paper and cardboard? Over time it would go back to soil.
jjapt mentioned composting hers. I might try that myself. I created a fairly large landscape bed around two large trees in our backyard. Edged it with bricks. It slopes away from the house . I've been adding organic matter to it for several years and this year am growing collards and kale and sweet potatoes in the top third or so of that bed. The lower third of that bed gets flood water after heavy rain and I wouldn't grow anything to eat in the lower half or maybe more. But I do want to raise that lower area so that would be a good place for paper shreddies. There could then be a visual problem -- our yard backs onto a golf course -- but I've been able to cover other things well enough with leaves and shrub prunings and that might work for white shreddies, as well. 4951
