Jennifer G on Mar 26, 2014Depending on how big your garden is… My mom used unbleached Muslin by the yard in her narrow garden. She would cut a slice in the fabric where she planted her crops. It was the perfect width, had great drainage and kept the weeds down all season. During the winter months it would rot and she turned it into the soil come spring and started all over.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Mar 27, 2014The ink in newspaper ink today is soybean oil, not petroleum as in the past. However, other chemicals are added which make it not completely biodegradable...to what extend I do not know. However, there is probably not much of anything that does not contain some objectionable byproduct. Cardboard is pine trees using corn starch glue. Kraft paper is a good product because it is just pine trees. Cardboard and Kraft paper could prove to be rather acidic however requiring some lime to be added to the soil.Helpful Reply
