<< my experience, the plants in the beds bordered with railroad ties grew
very poorly. Plants in redwood bordered beds right next to the railroad
ties thrived. I'll never use railroad ties (the true ones that are
preserved with creosote) again.

yes creosale leeks from the ties and can poisen plants around them-- I had
some Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum' next to a treat telophone pole ans
some of the plants reverted back to green because of the poisening and this
plant is a pain!!!!!!!! to say it kindly!!!!
