In the my ever increasing bid to recycle (and the fight against slugs) is it possible to use shredded paper as a mulch?

I use up most of my shredded paper in the compost bin or in places like bean trenches. There is no reason why you can't use it as a mulch, only reason I haven't is the thought of it blowing all over the place.

Hi Kimbo
We use newspaper as mulch, but as it comes with no shredding. We pop it around stuff like potatoes and weight it down with a bit of the surrounding soil. No reason why the shredded paper wouldn't work; just need to weight it down and it should be fine.
