I have been using cardboard with good results. The addition of paper is not necessary. I find it's best to soak the cardboard before adding, even if only for a few minutes. It absorbs water quickly. I have also added it without soaking. It still works but needs more time to mulch up. I'm glad I was forced to switch to cardboard (newspapers in volume are no longer available) because I can get them closeby and they are free. I do have to have someone with me to hoist the bale into the truck but after that I'm all set. I can fit 3 bales into the back of a small truck. I must add though that cardboard boxes have a lot of plastic in them. This tends to wind around the blade but does not do any damage. I have been taking the plastic shreds and putting them into the papercrete wall.
Sincerely, Judith
