Sotongeoff...i read somewhere that some ink has pesticides in it which can transfer to your compost? Could this be the case? I had news paper in but then took it out after reading it.
Sam-seriously not the case-newspaper is fine- it rots down quicker if you shred or tear it rather tham plonking your copies of the Financial Times in one great heap
All mags and junk mail go in my bins, I started making compost last spring and by October I had the equivalent of 8 dalek loads, which I just put all over the flower beds and one lot in the bean trench, if it's ok for Monty then it's right by me.
