So how do I know if the vege garden we just planted
in a bed raised on new-ish sleepers is full of
copper salts or not ?

When we bought them, they were just for flower beds.
But the sleepers don't look green or anything, just like
big bits of sawn timber - kinda red if anything. They're
a few years old now too.
