Gregtech disallows any cobble-derived product except gravel, which takes very large amounts of time and energy to create. this is because no-one was using the recycler without a cobblegen, and it just became a mandatory extension of any recycler setup. Then no-one would actually use the recycler to recycle unused items. it makes you give a fair amount of consideration as to how you are going to fed it, and gives the alternative matter fab amps a use. my personal favorite is to use all that excess beeswax.
Large amounts of time and energy? Extruder -> pulverizer. Done. Or better yet extruder->Fabricator + minium stone.

If sand works, just stick a macerator between the extruder and the recycler. I personally don't use extruders for cobble, I prefer turtles & vanilla cobble gens. Not for any specific reason except turtles are cool and walking by my cobble-gen building hearing all the noise they make is cool too.

there is another recipe that offers unlimited IC2-fertilizer

fertilizer + 3 ash or fertilizer + dark ash

if you are running an ind. blastfurnace, you soon get tons of dark ash, this is a way to actually use it.

or a peat-farm from forestry and either smelt the peat, or burn it in a peat engine. the nice side effect of that, you get a little excess energy from that process...
