Hi, we are building windbreaks around our numerous gardens using untreated 
timber pallets. We have identified a source of unlimited pallets (yippee!) 
which are not the green of treated pine and don't belong to Chep Pallets, 
however as they have been imported from China and Indonesia they have been 
treated with fumigants, prior to importation into Australia.

Can anyone advise the risks with using fumigated pallets in food gardens. And 
around children. Is there some way of determining their usefulness or 
otherwise?

Appreciate any info, Linda
