Default Railway Sleeper seeping?

Jonathon wrote:
Probably something I've done wrong but yesterday I forwarded
a request for guidance on preventing tar seeping through the
surface of old railway sleepers used in the making of raised beds. At
least I *thought* I had, but I can find no sign of it this evening?

Excuse me if I'm being being obtuse, but I'd greatly appear
any advice you may be able to help me in stopping this problem.

Best Regards

Jon.


Keep a supply of sawdust handy and on hot days when tar starts seeping
out, rub in the sawdust to soak up the tar. It will stop eventually -
honest!
