newspaper bundles

Question

I have access to bundles of newspapers, and would like to use them to form the structure of raised beds. I see, however, in your response to composting newspapers, that closed bundles would mold. Would this same thing occur if one side was exposed to air?

Answer 1

Yes, it likely would be the same effect.
