Wood Treatment For Raised Beds
4 Answers
I've just got a load of new scaffold boards to make some raised beds. I don't know if it's been treated or not but I would like to paint it with something anyway. What can I use that will not leech out anything into the soil and potentially harm my veg. I normally use creosote type stuff but I know that'll be no good for this project.

One of the best. Not to be used in Aquatic environments, but OK for plants once it's fully dried.
