 problem in my yard, but then again, I don't want to have to pay someone
 to replace the borders again in 7 years.

Hi Kim,

There's a very good article on pressure treated wood on the Kitchen Gardener 
website that you might want to check out...hope it will help you make your 
decision.

BTW, I found this link on Jan France's website...excellent!  If you haven't 
done so, check it out.  Great job, Jan!
