Vegetable safe paint
Greetings
I will soon be building some raised garden beds from 10mm Jarrah. Although this is structurally sound enough AFAIK I'm concerned that being relatively thin it will rot/degrade somewhat faster than thicker material. My plan, if I can find suitable material, is to paint the inside of the framework and varnish the outside. Does anyone have any ideas for the paint and varnish? TIA Ivan. |

However, you may find that 10mm isn't thick enough structurally, and it may break in a few years.
