My worms turn wet cardboard into castings very quickly. It's fun to watch a 4' pile of wet cardboard be reduced to 1' in a month. I'm not sure why, but they go straight for it regardless of the other nice things in my pile (still no bin, pile works great.) I think other organisms go nuts on wet paper, and this is a food source for the worms.
Thats good to know I work in the office at a recycling yard I can get all the cardboard I want.
