It will be fine for flower beds. I wouldn't use it for anything edible, the
problem is some of the chemicals used to treat the lumber can leach out

Hi Barb, I have been in Wisconsin for four years, originally from
Minnesota, so I'm ready for the football season to be *over*. Thanks
for the tips, I can't wait for the ground to thaw enough to get a
sample.
One more question for anyone out there. I have one large flower bed
and
three very small ones, they have all been made from green treated
lumber. Two of the beds are low to the ground, so if green treated
lumber is bad (which I have heard that they are), it won't be a problem
to take them out. But the other two are built up about two feet. I
guess my question is, is green treated lumber OK for flower beds? I
have heard that it isn't.
Is compost that important? (my ignorance is showing, I'm sure!) I can't
get my husband to agree with me to start one.
