[Jeffrey Newman <newman@bcinternet.net>]

I'd appreciate any input on this little question.

I have a wood stove and have been putting the ashes on my vegetable garden. I
understand they are quite rich in potassium. I use newspaper to start the 
fire. How
much of a contaminant is the lead (or anything else) in the newsprint?
