I put it in the compost bin together with the vegie peelings. It mulches down and absorbs the excess moisture.

That's what we used to do but we burn our confidential papers now.

We shred 'confidential' papers, the rest go out  for pulping. I'm simply looking for something better than into  an infill site.

I simply thought that a brighter approach using younger brains( eh?) might be constructive.

Lobsters- indeed. There's enough flooding- no lobsters yet  but fresh water crayfish are a possibility. Do they like wet paper?

Had a urban fox's tracks in the snow this AM but it was too quick to ask if it needed a warm bed.

Well, really?

I both burn paper for heat and use the ash on the compost heap (not all of the paper always burns and the potash is good stuff for the veggies).

I find that storing shreaded paper in the workshop is both good insulation and it is good at absorbing any excess moisture. A friend keeps wood  :ShakeHead: in his workshop for the same reason.

Ah yes, but I live in a smokeless zone- and cannot burn anything.

Well the first thing I'd recommend is MOVING away from such a place. There is bound to be a whole lot of
other idiot restrictions there as well.

Trick is to leave a trail of something so you can find your way back ...

... little bits of shredded paper should do nicely

All we're trying to do is combine a fuel and an oxidant in the combustion chamber and burn it in the hope of getting some useful thrust out of the back end. It's not rocket science.
