[papercreters] How do you use grocery store cardboard?

I've been searching around for free waste paper. The groceries have
compressed bales of cardboard that I can have (if we can get them up
into our little trailer).

I was wondering if anyone has experience working with this kind of
cardboard? How did you use it? Did you have to rip it up into
smaller pieces before you put it into your towmixer? How did the
blocks turn out? We are hoping to make blocks 1' wide x 2' long and
5.5' thick, using a paper, sand, cement weight ratio of 1:1:1.667.
