Even PVA glues should break down quite nicely given enough time. I've just been searching, and wax coatings might be a problem though (as per my comment on plastics and tape) | |
| Jun 14, 2011 at 2:20 | comment | added | bstpierre | @wax - Interesting point on the glue. I've been considering using it in my garden, but now that I'm thinking about it, most of what I've seen for recommendations on using cardboard is as the bottom layer of a deep sheet mulch (where it won't really affect any veggies grown on top). Do you know of any references pointing to harm from the glue? | |
