Especially 13 ways to use dryer lint. LOL. I wanted to write and tell you that I too have been researching using paper shreds in compost. I posted about it on <A HREF="http://commercial-paper-shredder-info.com/2009/03/paper-shredding-and-green-gardening-practices/" REL="nofollow">my blog</A>. What kind of <A HREF="http://www.fellowes.com/Fellowes/site/products/ProductsCategory.aspx?Name=SHREDDERS" REL="nofollow">shredder</A> do you use? I always use a crosscut shredder, but worry that it might make the shreds too small for composting, do you know?Toni S.http://commercial-paper-shredder-info.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-61632728611142070532007-05-22T18:09:23.070-04:002007-05-22T18:09:23.070-04:00I'm catching up on some older posts around here....I can't wait until we move so I can compost. I think I've mentioned that I also want to have a red worm composting bin, along with one for yard waste etc...It's amazing, thanks for the great link!Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15233857663564199322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-74101612758949535152007-05-13T12:38:56.685-04:002007-05-13T12:38:56.685-04:00Wow, I never knew you could do that!Mom2furhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-46498439487338949122007-05-11T23:02:32.596-04:002007-05-11T23:02:32.596-04:00Did not think of using the shredded paper......Celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02185860853151726676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-45291564925694369122007-05-10T00:27:50.078-04:002007-05-10T00:27:50.078-04:00Great tips! We do the same thing. We compost just about anything that's not protein! LOL. I'm linking this to my post today about frugal gardening tips. :)Alexandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-2429775922659162072007-05-09T23:37:20.360-04:002007-05-09T23:37:20.360-04:00I really need to buy a shredder and I am keeping my eyes peeled at the thrift store for one. I would have never thought to compost this- great tip!!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10635304837180578317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-18277468761450243202007-05-09T10:06:56.009-04:002007-05-09T10:06:56.009-04:00What a great idea to compost them! I'm still mad at my husband for breaking our $60 shredder because he HAD to see if it would shred a credit card! I guess boys will be boys. That was five years ago and we never bought another one. I've heard that some new ones do shred cards. I may have to look into that for Father's Day. Have a great day!The Lazy Organizerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.com
