There are better choices for PT wood...
white oak
cedar
cypress
stone
self-locking brick
composite wood planks

Working with PT wood is just plain nasty. And getting a splinter from
it is worse than from pine. If you make a raised bed from it, plant
flowers, shrubs or decorative gourds and keep the PT stuff far from
food and children.

yeah.. I use it, just line the inside with 6 mil plastic, staple it on so the soil
isnt up against the wood. Ingrid

Hi,

I have some 6X6X10 lumber I was thinking of using to make raised beds for a
raised vegetable bed. Can I use this wood even if it is pressure treated? I
like the look of this lumber and the height that I get from two stacked.
Thanks
Brennan
