I'm a CPA gardener in WA state! Newspapers really helped in our garden last year. I was converting grass paths to no-grass paths by putting down multiple sheets of newspapers and then covering them with burlap green coffee bags. The newspapers dissolved over the year. I also did this to kill out some of the grass and weeds in an area that would be 2 new beds. After a while, I took up the bags, rototilled in any remaining newspapers and then put the bags over the new beds. The worms seemed to love the newspaper / bag coverings too.
