Read any good organic garden magazine and they will say differently. This is why the popularity of raised beds made from galv cory steel is so popular. That's right. I also found an article by the CSIRO which said that the chemicals shouldn't be a problem. Personal preference I think. kyiee81 awesome job on the garden beds jellylegs, just goes to show that us girls can be pretty handy! good luck with your plant hunt! a native garden sounds beautiful and there are some lovely native grasses out there that will give it a lush look (don't know the names though!) GOOD LUCK and it looks fabulous Thanks Kylie - good to see you back around here too lisanne My BIL suggested to me that I once I have the soil/ground level, get the wood in lengths that I need and then put them in place and put a star picket in the ground at each end of the plank next to the wood to hold it in place and then when I fill the inside it will push against the star picket and it will hold it together - that way I don't need to dig holes or use bolts etc. I will check out your links this afternoon! Start pickets would be MUCH cheaper, quicker and easier, and you would also have the option of pulling it all down if you get tired of it (which I'm sure you wouldn't....but just in case...!!)
