I had the idea to use old news papers as a weed barrier in my vegetable garden. I checked with my local paper and they print with a petroleum based black ink that I don’t want to use in my garden. I have access to old New York Times and Wall Street Journals at work. Some one told me that they thought the New York Times was printed with soy based ink. I checked their website and Googled it, but couldn’t find out for sure.
