Many thanks for all of the helpful responses.

Here is my thinking...

* I have some land available to use to create compost
* Cardboard is free
* Composted cardboard, with no other component, would still provide good 
structure and some nourishment
* If I could supplement the cardboard with nitrogen (and as I understand 
things, urine has nitrogen (and grazing animal urine has tons of it)) it 
would be even more valuable
* Cardboard has lots of air pockets and thus would break down easily, and 
also absorb urine or other supplements

I did a spreadsheet on the business model. I think I did the numbers 
correctly, and it looks very profitable (but I didn't do the numbers with 
Nitrogen added). See attached.
