What do they use now? Provide some information so I can put it into the FAQ I'm
compiling. If you are speaking of Treks, it's not wholly a wood product, but a
composite of saw dust and plastic.

Tom,

No thanks on the google search.... I was hoping you could point me to
whatever peer reviewed literature supported your claim.

I'd be interested in any peer-reviewed scientific literature citing the
dangers of using CCA treated lumber in my garden as well.

David,

For a guy that uses treated lumber in his gardens, its unlikely to
prove of any value. If you are really interested a simple search
of "Glyphosate soil biology" in google will provide both sides of the
research spectrum.

Would you mind posting any links to peer-reviewed scientific literature
on
this subject?
