How can I recycle paper into driveway covering? |
I have a rock/limerock driveway, I would like to add some "fill" to it. I don't want to make it an expensive project, so I thought I could use recycled paper and cardboard for this. Any and all suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated. paper is water soluble so you'd need a waterproof binding agent, which would take an age to dry or some form of epoxy resin which would outweigh the cash saving of using paper in the first place. I'd give it up. it will decompose and wash away in 12 months. |
