Re: - New topic - using newspapers for soil prep

**LEE REICH l*@hvc.rr.com**

I delve into using newspaper for soil preparation in my relatively new book,
WEEDLESS GARDENING. I think it's important to also talk about maintaining
such a garden without undoing all the good that was done by not disrupting
the soil. Anyway, I go into this and more in my book and I'd be happy to
discuss it telephonically or otherwise.
