I recently moved to a new home and need to start all over again with preparing the soil in my garden. The soil has a lot of clay in it and I need to work in some other stuff like peat to loosen things up and provide some drainage. I also have a lot of old records to shred, and it occurred to me, why not work all of this crosscut shredded paper into the soil. It is, after all, cellulose. But what about the ink and is there any other stuff in there that may be harmful to my vegetable garden? Any opinions or experience with this?
