Before I do this to kill the weeds that have taken over the kitchen garden I didn't get in this year, do you have any idea what they use to make the Financial Times pink?

My cat, back in the bad old days before scoopable litter, wouldn't have deigned to have those publications lining his box!
Hee hee. Things must be pretty bad, though, if the only way they can get someone to purchase their rag is to convince them it makes good weed killer. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Great choices as they don't tell the true News, at least they are good for something.

The Daytona News Journal works great as toilet paper.

Thank you Oldeconomybuyer for this post, we just happen to be doing quite a bit of work on our patio. Would anyone have any sugestions on how to spif up a small, round brick pond. We built it after seeing someone that spent a fortune for theirs, ours we did ourselves. It is about 2ft deep and we will put some sort of fountain in the middle. My husband wants to put those ugly little statues of leprecauns (spelled wrong I know) around the top edges of this pond, he's bought 2 already. He said he was going to cement them there, what do you think? Anyone here like this fantacy idea of his?

My local paper doubles as a fertilizer as well.

Our solution to the "weed problem" is Roundup by the gallon but it is good to have another use for news paper since the Feds have stopped most fishing in Calif eliminating the need for Fish Wrap.

Does it work if you just read Maureen Dowd's column to the weeds?

Back in the days before plastic garbage bags my mother used newspapers to wrap smelly garbage like discared chicken parts. The mulch idea is good too, especially good when the papers are used BEFORE reading.
