I have a whole pile of sheetrock scraps left over from putting up the interior walls of my new house. I had a brainfart the other day and wondered why I could not lay the scraps around on the ground on the back of my three acre lot and, after a few rains and a little time, till it into the soil as an amendment. After all it is gypsum, which is commonly used as a soil amendment. There is also some sort of paper or cardboard layer which holds it together and I am sure some type of glue. It seems a waste to toss this scrap pile into a dumpster if I could recycle it, especially since my "gumbo" soil needs all the help it can get to improve its texture. I would use the area where the sheetrock would be mixed in as my garden spot in a year or two. Is this a good idea or a bad one?
