It seems that the practical and inquisitive mind of a summer resident is focused on survival and profit. This is indeed true.
And that is why experienced gardeners never hand in waste paper for recycling.
They carefully pack up accumulated newspapers, shoe boxes, old magazines and utility bills to take to the dacha in the spring.
Why do summer residents need waste paper?
1. Try to light a stove or start a fire without paper. Newspapers are a great help here.
2. A much more practical use for all this wealth can be found in rainy weather.
Cardboard boxes and egg trays can be placed between the beds – they absorb moisture well.
3. Waste paper can also be used as a base for high beds.
4. Thick cardboard can be used as mulch to protect against weeds and to retain moisture and heat in the soil.
5. When preparing the garden for the winter cold, you can use waste paper again, but this time to protect young seedlings from frost and pests.
For reference
Waste paper is waste from the production, processing and consumption of all types of paper and cardboard, suitable for further use as fibrous raw material.
