I've seen suggestions for using newspaper for mulch and weed control.
No doubt this works, but I've always been concerned about toxins

So far as I know, newspapers are all using soy-based ink, so no concern

sure. I use it quite a bit, covered with mulch hay/grass
clippings/whatever, then just till it in at season's end.
