Any idea how small I should have the soggy pices of cardboard boxes for my compost bin, also the same for newspapers just a sheet at a time or smaller ?
thanks M.

I usually rip them up a bit, cardboard into pieces about 10" square and newspaper just torn across each page...no hassle! Seems to rot down fine. :)
