I'd like to build my own wooden containers for growing vegetables. I
know you can't grow edibles in containers made from pressure treated

I suppose I could just use pine and discard it when it rots, but how
about pine painted with exterior stain or other preservative?

How about plywood (non-PT)? Is it safe?
