Default Termite-proofing redgum?

I want to build some raised veggie beds, and refer to avoid treated pine. I
thought redgum "sleepers" might be good (not actual sleepers, but the planks
about 200mm high by 75mm), but I am a bit concerned about them succumbing to
termites. Is there any non-toxic preparation I can treat them with before
putting the soil in?
