Q. on Shredded Newspaper Mulch

[Jamesuschafer]

I am looking to shred some of my newspapers to use as mulch this year for weed control on my tomato patch. I have used leaves and other matter in the past.

Should I be concerned about color and black newspaper inks leaching into the soil and affecting the health and production of my tomato plants? Am I better off not doing this?

Appreciate any advice from fellow Tomatovillians.

Thanks!
Jim
