Beds !

Here are my garden beds:4- 5'x8' beds Made from 2"x12" treated lumber treated with only copper NOT chromium or arsenic ! Arsenic is not allowed to be used any more but reclaimed treated lumber may still have arsenic. Chromium has different forms some being "safe" and some proven to not be "safe". I didn't want to risk it for my family's veggies. I also didn't want to spend the money on cedar which is naturally anti fungal. There are plastic pre made beds and again cost was a factor and I just don't like plastic! I treated the grass in my beds with an organic herbicide to kill the grass I will share the brand if it works! Then I will fill the beds with soil! And plant ! I am planning on putting things in the end on April and less hardy things the first couple weeks in May !
