All Lowe's and Home depot have a variety of cedar lumber. Use 2X 6 Cedar for
your raised beds. Your pine will be gone in a season or two.

Hi all.

I'm building a vegetable garden with raised wooden planters.
Unfortunately, cedar and redwood weren't available, and of course treated
wood is Bad Very Bad, so I've got untreated pine. I'm wondering what I
can
do that will protect the pine from rot, without leaching into the soil and
hurting the food.

Thanks!
