Hy everybody,
here is a complete newbe, with interests in ecological gardening ( you know get a permie garden going)
I have read that some of you use oldnewspapers for mulching layers.
My question: "Isn't this ink very toxic?"
Anyway I get tons of useful information here.

I'm aware of the issues, and I've made the decision to use both cardboard and newspaper.
It's one of those 'comfort zone' things!
What does a metric clock look like? I bet it is nothing like this tiny ad:
