Comment on treated wood...
If been into gardening for a while now and watched this group the last
few years... I have not used treated wood for reasons read here and elsewhere. My only comment is I've also watched hundreds of landscape/garden shows on HGTV and such and ALWAYS see treated lumber in and around vegetable gardens - even rail ties quite a bit. I've always liked the 'look' after a few years of weathering and now am starting to rethink its use.... Kevin Miller Zone 5 |
Comment on treated wood...
There seems to be a developing consensus that it's good to think about
digging it up out of vegetable gardens or places where children come in contact with it. Saw a recommendation in a gardening magazine to think about replacing at least the handrail on treated-lumber decks with the newer non-arsenic treated lumber. My personal experience is that my particular soil mostly stays put in a mound without support and it's easier to work the soil without them. Plus during a really dry/wet year it lets me lower/raise the bed more easily. "Kevin Miller" wrote in message news:83F5A9BC68645E2C.3470C8DB9404DA7B.25704D9DDED ...
