Default ping songbird: a theory to run by you

do wood products bother them? like wood chips?


You never know where they come from. Pressure treated
wood is deadly. Wood sprayed with insecticide and anti
fungals (for wood burning stoves) is also deadly. Our
fences are redwood.

Also, you have to be careful with wood chips, etc., as they
draw termites and we can't spray/tent for them. This is
one reason why I never started with wood raised beds.
I could have used cedar or redwood, but I can't afford
anything and your words kept rolling through my
head about never having enough room with beds.
