Hello
We are in the process of planning raised beds to be used by gardeners in
wheel chairs. The framing of the raised bed (mounted on landscaping ties)
will be outdoor treated plywood and treated 2 by 8 inch framing. The inside
of the box by the soil will be lined with "CorrectDeck" fiber boards (artificial
wood). These boards are made from Polypropylene and wood fiber.
A friend of mine said that the artificial wood after a while leaches some
kind of substance which may be harmful.
I would appreciate if anyone out there in garden-land has any info on
this "allegation."
Many thanks
Jerry
