Phone Book Mulch?
Since I don't have a steady supply of newspaper and it's that time of year when some new phone books come out, I was wondering if shredding the pages from the old books would work just as well as newspaper?
I checked one out and they mentioned that they are printed with soy ink and they encourage recycling, but really, I don't want to haul my old phone book to a drop off point... So, has anyone used phone books for mulch? Think the yellow pages will work too?  On a side note, can I layer the 'paper' and then top with a compost/manure mixture? The other way around or neither? Thanks! Cathy |
