Reread my words. I didn't say for sure, I said "there may well be."

But my foggy gray is telling me it has seen words about mold-proofing  
chemicals.

Bev, I am a country boy who likes to keep things simple. I do not put  
anything in my garden that gives me any pause. I do not knowingly use  
chemicals that man has manipulated. I think like biodynamics  
practitioners: my property is my garden and my use of it is as a  
closed loop; very little is allowed in that does not grow or exist  
there, save seeds.

I would not have brought that sheetrock onto my property. You did, so  
here is what I suggest: put in under fruit trees and ornamentals where  
it will not leach into your veggie growing soil. That is what I do  
with my raw humanure, which I believe to be safe but I choose to err  
on the side of caution.
