In her book "Earthly Delights" (which I would recommend) Margot Rochester
suggests that to create a new garden bed lay down eight layers of newspaper
and then place compost on it, and then cover with leaves. She does not
suggest digging up the ground underneath. It sounds like a good process, but
my wife wonders about the ink the newspaper. Will it cause any harm if you
grow vegtables. Any opinions?

Thanks

Tom
