Occupying our agricultural fields.
It seemed to be a new thing a few years ago, to bag freshly planted citrus trees. Now it looks to be a feature of every new orchard; and there are a lot of new orchards.

The recipe
Egg cartons. Soft puffy cardboard. Maybe add in a paper towel cardboard core. Shred by hand and place in bowl. Add hot water from the tap and let stand.
Some hours later, smush it a bit with your hands, stir with your fingers, and call it good.
The result? Compostable cardboard mush. Take it outside and dump it in the compost tumblers with the shredded yard clippings.
