Composting not fast enough

I have lots of shredded cardboard and wondered if it would be okay to put it on my 40’x60′ garden. Would it be okay to do this without composting it first? I have been composting as much as I can but still have a many bags full.

If the cardboard is shredded pretty well and fine and is free from tape, staples, ink, plastic, and Styrofoam, yes–you can put in your garden. At that stage though it will serve more as mulch rather than compost. Some people mix it in with the garden soil.
