..on the shelves and in my head.

I quite like the growly sound of the paper shredder as it eats my words

which then get recycled in the compost bin..

I hope mother nature's microbes can digest all that ink and those chemicals and those thoughts (which have already been in many cycles in my head)....

Carbon balances out the nitrogenous material and stops the compost from getting slimy. I remember Bob Flowerdew being very no-nonsense about worries over ink on shredded paper. So I reckoned if it was alright with him then it was fine to empty it out there.

Anyone who cannot start this letting-go process cannot possibly understand how satisfying it is, can they, Freda? Once you get into the swing of it, it is sheer freedom and liberation! And how wonderful that you have your garden as the next abode for what was cluttering up your home and your head!..maybe you are planting your future...:-)

I do feel a sense of freedom having made the decision to get rid of a lot of old notes....quite liberating as you say!

And if you use the compost to grow veg, you'll be eating your own words!
Of all the things I've cleared out I think getting rid of papers etc created the most headspace... letting go of old written thoughts (mine or other people's) cleared space for fresh thinking.
I'm also thinking how cosy your compost bin mouse will be in all that lot!

The shredded words look like an art form in themselves. Your photos and the comments by Lotta and Julia have made me decide to get a shredder. But this coming week I have an assignment to complete so shredding of abandoned drafts will begin the week after! Then for the backlog of notes from previous projects.

Happy shredding! (I borrowed one as it is something most people only use sporadically it makes sense....)
