Comment by Bre Giffin on March 3, 2010 at 7:48pm - Thanks for the reply Don. I've noticed a lot of folks do use treated lumber for vegetable gardens and I wasn't quite sure how they felt comfortable with it. The lining is a good tip and I'll look into the different treatments. Thanks again!

Hi Bre,
I'm not a fan of untreated lumber for a raised bed garden. It just rots quickly and you have to replace it. I recommend pressure-treated lumber, but with a twist - I line the inside with black plastic, so any chemicals won't get into the garden. The new copper-based preservatives are very safe, but some people like the lining.
You can buy cedar, but it's very expensive.

Hi All,
Here is an interview I did on South Carolina TV that explains my approach to organic gardening.

The whole purpose is to make gardening so easy that everyone can do it.
Don.
