Default which newspapers are best for composting? (OT sarcasm)


Lez,

The question said 'newspapers'.

Hi y'all

I've just got back from the garden where I've been forking out the
results of my first attempt at compost making - quite respectable if a
bit twiggy, so I'm reasonably pleased. I'd like to start adding
chopped up newspapers to my compost but I'm a bit nervous about this
because I read that a) the paper itself is bleached with chorine and b)
the printers ink can contain chemical nasties. I read The
Independent. I'm not sure how it rates in terms of compostability,
although its editorial policy is certainly very green. Any views?
