Thanks. Does someone know how plant roots interact with creosote
treated wood. I suppose the creosote
is coal tar based and contains benzene and other carcinogens. But to a
plant, would creosote be a good
additive to a alkali soil making it more acidic. And would the plant
be free of any carcinogens.

I have rows of old railroad ties and the trees along these two rows
have performed the best in growth
compared to other saplings, especially the pine trees and the grape
vine.
