I have access to a small supply of discarded pallets from
unloading trucks.
Is this wood safe for building raised beds for vegetables? How
can I tell if it is treated or not?
Thanks.
I don't know of any pallets that have been treated. To know for sure
you will need to test it. Depending on the wood, your pallets will
last 1 to 5 years. White oak pallets last longer than others.
