[Homestead] Raised Bed Advice

Finally have the first raised bed in.   Could not find non-protected
timbers anywhere, so I have "Landscape Timbers" which are the rounded
timbers, treated with the recent "less-toxic" methods.   Question I have
is as follows.   I am thinking of putting landscape cloth on the inside
sides of the bed.   Staple them to the side, and that could stop any
soil from leaching out, although I don't think it would do anything to
Cu and As from leaching in.   Wife says it isn't worth it.   

We have the cloth and the it is unfilled now.   What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris
