Can wood mulch/chips be used on top of the newspaper. I thought I had read somewhere that wood mulch wasn't good for vegetable gardens

mulch away

the mulch will take nitrogen from the soil but will eventually break down into lovely humus. make sure you add some chook poo or pellets and should be fine - better to do this in winter as the wood won't break down much until its wet. I have used this technique in the vegie patch with success - better to use where you don't want to grow a root crop and great way of breaking weed cycle. Don't use treated pine mulch.
