Please only tell me if you know for sure! Paper can be composted--it's high in carbon & is good for balancing out the nitrogen in kitchen waste--but I'm worried about whether the ink in newspaper is toxic. At this point I use only food packaging, which is legally required to contain non-toxic ink only.
Toxins in the garden are a hazard. I know a story of someone who was made sick for years by the railroad ties she used to contain her raised beds... they contained arsenic. Not good!
