Hi, Michelle -- as others will no doubt agree, compost is
one of *the* most important elements for successful gardens
& healthy plants. We have a small pile now but I dream of
having two big ones in a future life. Compost piles or bins
aren't that difficult -- just keep all meat & animal products
out of it, keep it damp, and turn it occasionally. Every
summer, I scrape out ours and wish for bushels more.
I'd be interested in responses to the green treated lumber
question too. I inherited a couple of raised beds where plants
near the edges seem to falter.
