Hey all,

Any input on the use of treated lumber (Arsenic impregnated) used as
stakes
in the garden? I'm using some 2X2's to support the fencing of my peas, and
have used it in the past to stake my tomatoes (until I learned that cages
are the ultimate way to grow them). My question is:

If the As leaches out into the soil, will it break down before being taken
up by the plants?

Thanks,

Scott
