Railway Sleepers Suppliers in Yorkshire
More precisely, Leeds or Bradford - anyone know of any local suppliers who
would cut down the sleepers and deliver - I have this idea for a raised planter. Thanks. Earths_Child |

Earths_Child You don't want real railway sleepers. They smell of poo when warmed by the sun. At least my mates did... Yeuch! I think it goes into a tank nowadays but it never used too... straight onto the tracks (hence the "not while in a station" signs) Les -- Remove Frontal Lobes to reply direct.

The previous poster raises a good point re. smell of used sleepers. You could think about using ex scaffolding planks?

You don't want real railway sleepers. They smell of poo when warmed by the sun. At least my mates did... Not only that, but you'd have to check _very_ carefully if they haven't been treated: if they're new sleepers you should be fine, but recovered ones are usually soaked in one industrial weedkiller or another (creosote ring a bell?). There's been some talk about this and I'm not sure I'd want that in my garden, not only for the plants but for myself: some of this stuff was so toxic it is now banned, and with rain I wouldn't want the chemicals to trickle on anywhere else...
