    I've used gypsum as a soil amendment. Maybe this would work. Do you think the paper backing would break down fast enough that it wouldn't interfear? Maybe pile it up and drive over the pile to make smaller pieces.

    Hi Gary,

    I kinda wondered how long it would take for the paper to break down, too, but it may be a year or two down the road before I try to make a garden so that would give it a while to decompose. Worst case scenario I guess I might find myself picking up scraps of paper over a period of time.
