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.



Are you always this grumpy and cantankerous on Bone Night? Not Happy
Hour yet?

(pssssssstttt.........David is no newbie, nor is he one of the "bad
guys".)


Well, look who's gone all milk and honey ;O) Damit, Charlie, that was a
perfectly good harangue. Don't you have some dishes to wash? You
can't leave them all for Lovely. An what you wastin' time on the
computer for? Gotta stop loafin' around an' get to work.

Your recommendation for happy hour (more like 10 minutes) is duly noted.
Now where is my margarita bucket?
