Katherine:You may want to use caution with landscape timbers considering the recent limitations on the use of treated Pine, due to its arsenic content, until a new treatment is approved. I generally use rough sawn Cypress or Cedar, obtained from local small portable sawmills, cut to the dimensions I need. Both have lasted well and are environmentally friendly. Both are generally slightly more expensive than landscape timbers, but less expensive than treated Pine dimension lumber, and I've found the portable sawmills cutting logs that were headed for the landfills from tree service companies, so that's kind of environmentally friendly too.Hank_______________________________________________----- Original Message -----From: kathie loftisSent: Friday, June 06, 2003 7:15 AMSubject: [Market-farming] Beds for growingMy husband is about to build some 4' x 8' beds for me out of landscape timbers for starting perennials & hostas. Can anybody give me any advice on how to keep the weeds down between the beds? Any other advice on this subject? I would appreciate any pointers before we start. Thanks.Katherine
