[QUOTE=Briar Friar;14026745]Rut-ro...I worry for your health. Railroad timbers are treated with creosote. Highly carcinogenic. Ive been under the impression that using railroad timbers was a big no no when building raised beds for a consumption garden.
My orchard is almost fully planted...a few skips...Ill plug some nectarine trees in those holes.
Im propagating some chile petin plants now...theyve got some new growth...so Im hopeful. They were struggling when they were vertical...so I laid them over and covered the stems and just left the leaves poking out of my propagation bed sand.[/QUOTE]
You definitely have to be careful. Adding a lot of carbon to your soil helps drastically with this
