Hi guys, I have rented a shredder to get rid of a mountain of hedge trimmings, some of it woody up to 30 mm across. I have plenty cardboard to pad it out too but wondered whether it needs the card for carbon or whether it needs more greens due to the woody parts. Any advice welcome.

Perhaps its already the perfect mix?
I chipped a bunch of alders couple weeks ago. Looked about like that. Made about a 2 cubic yard pile. They got to 120farenheit on their own and stayed there for a while. If you want them to get hotter add greens I guess. I pretty much just let them do whatever and basically precompost so I can use them for browns or as woodchips in garden next year.
It would be fine on its own, but if you want/need it hotter, add greens.
