Hi guys,
My sister recently had some landscapers install a raised vegetable garden bed. It is clearly hardwood (dark brown/ grey colour) and reclaimed from the railways (still has holes and rust marks from rail line etc)Â…. I don't believe the timber is treated with creosote as it does not have any black tar residue etc..
What i wanted to know is given the diesel, oil, herbicides, brake dust etc etc etc whether it is a reasonably safe option? Do you know anybody who has railway sleepers as their raised veggie garden beds? Surely it is common practice...
I would like to think that even if there are nasties in the timber that most of it would have washed off over the years in the rain and that veggies themselves wouldnt absorb/ uptake any nasties but i don't know..
interested in what you think..
