Re: Safe wood

**G* H* <h*@aol.com>**

I have been using pressure two by eights as bed formers for over forty years without worrying about the dread "leaching of poison".  None of my family has experienced ANY problems related to such use.  I am eighty two years old and I would think that any bad effects would have occurred before now.  It is a great misstating of actual use facts to say that such treated lumber is dangerous.  Or perhaps that is why I have lived as long as I have.  Don't believe EVERYTHING that the organic people put out, some of it is fine, but a lot of it is what you can find walking in a cow pasture.

Is there such a thing as a SAFE pressure treated timber for use in raised
egetable gardens? What do I ask for/specify?
Thanks in advance for your help.
