cinder blocks work well too ― you can paint them any way you like, and fill the holes with soil and plant in them as well!

Once there, you can go back several years in our rather heated discussions on treated and untreated wood in gardens. Most of the sensible heads on this listserv are anti treated wood in gardens, but there is one fine gardener who says that the arsenic run off is minimal, according to her scientist... The exchanges go on and on, but read them. My suggestion - Why not use rocks or stone instead? The stuff is far more attractive and doesn't rot. Also brick beds last forever too...

Date: 4/22/03 2:44:19 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Skyler York) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What wood is suggested to be used in a Community Garden? Some have said use untreated wood, but the replacement of this wood after it decays would be costly. Others say use treated wood to last longer, but the issue of CCA comes to mind when dealing with treated would. Any suggestions? I think the argument could go either way. >> >>
