How much paper

**Jeanied** · 16-01-2010, 06:51 PM

Jackie I always layer in my shredded paper - so if I have a 3" layer of wet stuff or green stuff then I put over a layer of the paper as the dry component. Same with bags of stable manure - so the compost contaner is built up with different layers which sit for a while and when you remember, give it a good stir!

That might be why mine doesnt come out right.

greens and browns should be roughly 50/50

I always put a few inches of shredding in the bottom of my compost caddy seems to make emptying it easier.

You could also add it into your bean trench.

Now I like that idea - guess it will soak up all the goo. Off to start that now

I compost all my junk mail, cardboard, packaging etc. If you have any grass, you'll naturally produce more greens than browns anyway, so I find it can take as much paper and cardboard as i can get.
