Can I put printed cardboard in the compost?

[Wiggletastic]

That's it really, just wondering. I put all the brown cardboard i.e. toilet rolls etc. on the compost heap but usually take all the printed stuff i.e. cereal packets, to a recycling centre. Could I put all this on the compost too?

You can, it breaks down exactly the same as the brown cardboard but it depends on how organic you want your compost to be? The print contains chemicals and so I guess could find its way into your veg if you used a lot of it.

Hmmm... I guess I will stick to the brown stuff, its not really a problem taking the other stuff to the recycling centre. Thanks for the advice...
