That's not going to stop weeds. The paper is biodegradable...aka...food for weeds/grass. The weeds can push through "paper". It's not a deterrent. You need Weed Barrier material that is made in a criss cross pattern so water goes through, but weeds can't break through. I'd love to see an updated video if this process in a couple months. 😂 Lot if work though. 😢

I wet the newspaper down first before laying mulch. Mulch lays better and its just easier.

The ink is usually non-toxic (soy) but those shiny insert type of pages (not used here) are a good idea to avoid.
@xdraconicgaming5204

No the ink doesn’t break down. It can have minimal effects on the soil and food (vegetable gardens) but it still should be avoided. Plain cardboard with no gloss or print on it is the best to use if you would like to do this mulching method but it’s only purpose would be to kill grass or weeds. If that’s not the goal and water retention for your soil is the concern, just use non dyed wood mulch.

I think it varies a lot between regions too. In my area with moderate to high humidity, newspaper simply disintegrates in a matter of weeks. So it doesn’t work well for me.

Have you ever tried using brown paper instead? They use dioxin to make the paper white and chemicals to make the ink. So a lot of gardeners like to use plain brown paper Just figured I would share
