Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Mark Nagel <activism98201@verizon.net>]

I had heard/read somewhere, pertaining to fence posts I believe, that if you 
char wood that's going to be in contact with soil that it doesn't rot (or rot 
as fast).  I'd be interested in hearing whether this has any validity.

Another alternative is old (recycled) wood, rather than wood treated 
with arsenates. See  http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/lumber.html
which also has links to other resources, such as the longevity of 
different species of wood. It also has a recipe for a wood 
preservative you can make.
