Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the lumber selection at my Home Depot is
sparse, and the only cedar I was able to find was the fencing stuff (1x6?)

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!
