Ink is all soy based now. Degrades like the paper and cardboard. I just layer over year after year. This is another good video:

I was told by a neighbor that the clay soil here compacts so will need to be plowed and disced every spring.

So I’ll take up the remaining paper before he discs for us, unless it degrades enough over the winter. Or does it decompose as fast as the leaves and grass will? Those latter would be good to work into the soil, I assume.

It is amazing how much the locals know about gardening and livestock here- even those that don’t do it any more. They grew up in poor Appalachain families that lived off the land.
