When I was building my raised beds a couple weeks ago, I first bought some 
6x6 Pre-Treated wood and then read some bad things about it on the internet. 
  I think it was on this sight:

Anyhow I promptly returned them for 4x4 rough cut cedar and it ended up 
being about the same price for a 8'x4' 12" raised bed.  I think the Cedar 
looks nicer and more natural now that it is built.


PS: Thank you to all those that replied about my soil questions (I am just 
now catching up with my e-mail)

Excited that my first sprouts are up.
Happy Gardening
