The Miracle Micro cut Shredder for Compost and Vermicompost 

I have been using the same Royal 1620mx crosscut shredder for over 6 years to process almost every piece of corrugated cardboard that our household of 4 has seen during that time. The shreds aren't micro, but my worms have never complained about it.

I love how glock makes its own bb guns and how they make them look so real ru-vid.comUgkxnX9wE_Q8zvF75Y5iWzTU3Q4FlrtyGApQ , the only thing is that the slide doesn't move back. The sights and the body structure is so similar to a real handgun, fits in my hand perfectly but I actually ordered it with the 40 pack of Co2 tanks and they never arrived even though it said that they handed It to me. Was not able to test the accuracy since I didn't get everything I purchased which is frustrating and that's the whole reason why I got the bundle so it arrives together. So the Co2 tank happens to be a third party so it makes no sense to put it in the bundle if it doesn't get shipped at the same time, the BB gun arrived first then the Co2 tanks were supposed to arrive someday later but didn't, which doesn't make sense. I recommend just ordering the gun itself so you don't get the same issue I ran into plus there's no option for a refund. How stupid.

Dude, this saved me so much time. It never occurred to me to try our shredder. We have an old 10 page Fellowes crosscut shredder that worked great, as long as I fed it 3-4" max strips. I reduced several boxes down to nice confetti for my nightcrawlers. Thanks!

Oh hell, I loved the funky Cool in the Gang intro... just passing through.

Love the intro. My wife and I had a good laugh.

Love the opening... a CLASSIC!!

Remember no glossy paper or photos. No glossy cardboard or cereal boxes and no labels or tape. I have a Royal Micro Cut 10sheet and it just loves Amazon boxes. (I do too!) My shredded stuff goes to the worm bin and the hot compost bins too.

my worms love a nice mix of paper and grass thanks

Thanks for sharing your video... AND... I just learned a new word: vermicompost!

Great video, just like shredding

I agree that the micro cutter is the way to go. Bought one and the worms eat it twice as fast along with food scraps. My casting are beautiful black castings.

Great. Thanks Really appreciate the help for my worms

wonderful machine!!!

What a great suggestion!

How is your shredder doing now after 4 years of shredding cardboard ?. I am seriously thinking of buying one for my worm bin.

thank you for sharing

Appreciate this ❤

That cuts hours of cutting. I spent 2 days cutting it. A few hour 1 day and a few hours the second day. I love doing my own compost because I know what's in it. Great video. Loved and Subbed.

tyvm i just bought one because of info here

Great video. My only issue with shredders is the pause time when they heat up. I'd be on a roll then the shredder would pause while the motor cooled down. Drove me mad lol. Great for very short periods of shredding but when I had several large cardboard boxes to shred the pause time was longer than the operating time lol. Now I just rip them by hand. Great video though and thanks for sharing as it's a great method for sure.

Thanks for sharing! You may want to consider that ink is usually GMO soy. We don't use junk mail for organic gardening because of that.

Love the song! lol

Damn my dude you are telling me you didn’t have any junk mail lying around..... you used fresh new paper. I want to live your life! No junk mail.

This little guy can eat awesome

I even put paper towel after they dry as well as toilet paper in mine with the help of a piece of cardboard.

It would be nice to know how long one lasts using primarily for cardboard box shredding. All the available user manuals I found specifically list cardboard as something to not feed in. If there's a benefit that trumps voiding the warranty I guess there's no issue there.

I wouldn't put too much paper/cardboard in the compost/worm bins because, as with anything, you get out what you put in. I saw a video where someone did an experiment feeding 2 bins (compost or worms), 1 with paper, 1 without. The produce from the paper fed bin looked great, till compared with the other, then it just looked like dirt compared to the rich dark compost from the non paper bin. Made a lot of sense, so I decided to use my scrap paper for briquettes instead.

can you tell me about ink and paper or tape on cardboard or labels? I know receipts would be bad because they are wax paper and have multiple layers of plastic.... but what about different inks / dyes / tapes / etc?

How long did it last are you still using

Which model shredder do you have ??

Do you mind posting the actual model number of your micro shredder? Can you put 2 pieces of cardboard at the same time?

i like it ust how long will.that last

нужен для такого модифицированный шредер. у меня подобный 5 класса сломался и в ремонт сдан был, его там потеряли и пришлось ехать в мастерскую с руганью. но там ребята сказали, что в целях защиты, в шредере стоят пластиковые шестерни и это головная боль. за 200 грн были поставлены стальные. с тех пор не 5 листов за раз, а и 20 жует. картон разве что на полосы резать надо, чтобы проходило, режет тоже в порошок

i would like to know. when damp dose it clump together or compact.?

Hi from montréal canada. Good explication. Thankyou. Do you think we can schredd plastic strap? Polypropylene strap?

This shredder looks awesome. I'm going to get one for shredding shipping boxes and cereal boxes for my compost. My other big source of paper waste, though, is Dixie paper plates and bowls. The Dixie website says they are compostable in 'commercial' facilities, presumably because high temp is needed to break down the non-shredded plates. But if I micro shred them first, I think my pile could probably handle it. If I wipe the food off first, do you think this shredder would work for wax coated paper plates?

Know where I can get a couple with burned out motors?

What cardboard shredder do you use?

Do you remove the plastic windows from the junk mail envelopes?

Please send the model of the shredder to find here in Lima Peru

what else did you use ? I own a worm farm The scarlet worm in southern California

don't go crazy on the paper there bud! think fall leaves !

can you do an aluminum pop can on this?

I'm looking for something that will shred fine enough so that I can use it as kitty litter, and it will go through the kitty litter scoop without getting caught.

How much does it cost, I've been needing to buy one.

Would like to know the model number of the shredder.

Quick tip: You never want to put cardboard in your shredder. It doesn't matter what type of blade it is the shredder will dull faster and easier.

Anyone know where to get a food scrap shredder to shred fruit & veggie waste for composting & vermicomposting 😊?

This is just what I need but am concerned about buying one because I contacted the manufacturers and they said that cardboard would ruin the blades - I don't want to shred huge amounts of cardboard, just a few bags now and then for composing, - any thoughts please ?

You forgot that the shreds can be used to make wood stove/fireplace pellets or briquettes.

So you just oil some paper with vegetable oil? How often do you do this? How about a video?

also what is the make and mosley

What the heck is going on here....69450 views and no one has hit LIKE ...till now.

What about the dyes in coloured papers and junk mail. Is this safe for compost heaps, please?

Still workin?

any update on the machine after a few years of use?

I have tried several of these for cardboard. They are slow for a large operation and the use of cardboard seems to bend up and clog the blades. They don't last long enough to pay for themselves. I do not recommend this method.

It shreds plastic cards, cardboard aint no thang

I don't know about yours, but my 16 sheet one eats thick pieces of plastic.

glues, whitening bleaches and toxic ink near the roots of your plants.
