Default Compost pile and "treated wood"

Can I make the walls for my compost pile from "green treated" or
"wolmanized" wood. Or would the wood leech dangerous chemicals into
the compost?


Conditions around a compost pile are ideal for leaching out much of
the wood preservative into the compost. You really don't want the
toxic metals in compost or the soil as a result.
