I want to thank you for information on using paper as a mulch for gardening---I am going to try it this year.

I add my shredded paper to the compost bin. Most newspapers use vegetable based ink, so they make nice mulch, as well.

We have a paper shredder (don't we all) ? I save my shredded paper, and use it through out the year, as mulch, for my tomatoes, peppers, etc. even flowers. It breaks down and makes all kind of goodies for the soil and plants. I throw in my garden beds (raised) all winter long, and when spring gets here, I am ready to garden, just turn the soil a little. And it's free!
