We have accumulated a lot of cardboard
in the form of collapsed boxes. Some from wine and some from other
packaging. Rather than recycle it we have held onto the lot to use as
a mulch base for garden beds. But not putting in any new beds of
recent has meant it has become a large stockpile bordering on
hoarding. My idea was to feed it through the mulcher to make it more
digestible to bugs.
At first it was fed through the chipper
but in the end I found it worked just fine through the main chute. As
long as the material is cleared away from the outlet regularly there
were no problems. Being a windy day I slipped a feed bag over the
opening to contain the paperwork.
Every day we are finding another use
for this aging mulcher.
Battling on with cheese making and Jean
continues restocking the cultured butter. Today it was some Camembert
made early enough to ripen for Christmas.
The tall Camemberts will be sliced down to size for salting |
