Agreed, you need some real data not a guess.
And you, David, need a basis for your presumption that Bill was making a
guess.

The thing is, David, as a relative newbie to this group, you may be
unaware that this subject has been done, over and over again, in the
past and it always boils down to "its' a bad idea" to use railroad ties,
telephone posts, or pressure treated lumber in conjunction with edible
gardens.

or you could look at a material safety data sheet (MSDS) from a
company that produces creosote (presumably they would want to put the
best face on it):

In the future, David, you may want to ask for citations, if you are so
dull as to not be able to "google" it yourself, but you may want to
think twice before you accuse a poster of guessing.
