The 2017 guidance from New Hampshire specifically rules against the inclusion of compost in their bioretention media.<ref>UNHSC Bioretention Soil Specification. (2017). Retrieved from https://www.unh.edu/unhsc/sites/default/files/media/unhsc_bsm_spec_2-28-17_0.pdf</ref> Instead they recommend sphagnum peat or ''"Shredded wood, wood chips, ground bark, or wood waste; of uniform texture and free of stones, sticks"''. The use of wood chip has been common in New Hampshire for some time, in this 2006 thesis 20 % wood chips (not characterized) were incorporated into all of the test cases to match current practices at the time. <ref>Stone, R. M. (2013). Evaluation and Optimization of Bioretention Design for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal. University of New Hampshire.

Shredded paper has been tested as an additional source of carbon and as an electron-donor to promote denitrification in a number of successful laboratory and field studies.
