Honestly, though - I can't quite tell if they're saying all drywall has these characteristics... (?)

Hmm, assuming all drywall, not just the Chinese-supplied drywall has these toxic characteristics, you're right, putting drywall in ones vege garden is not such a good idea. I put a couple narrow left-over pieces in last year's garden for the first time and had been saving some for this year's. Now I won't. 

Thanks for pointing out this article Kat. Sacie

I know it's been suggested in the past that it might be a good idea to use leftover gypsum board as a weed barrier in the garden but I'm thinking in light of today's Green Spec Insights at Building Green.com I'd say perhaps that's not such a good idea! http://www.buildinggreen.com/live/index.cfm/2012/3/14/Gypsum-Board-Are-Our-Walls-Leaching-Toxins
