Although they claim its safe they said that same thing about the old

If you're concerned about the treated wood leaching chemicals into the
soil, line the raised planter walls with plastic.


I think Bob has a good point. That's why we used cedar- but cypress
or redwood would work. Call a local mill for the best prices--
you don't need kiln dried or dressed lumber- and D grade is fine to
just hold the dirt in.

Our local yard carries 1x12 red cedar, dressed one side, that is
called D, but I've gotten some boards that the borg would have called
'select'. It is about the same price per board foot as PT.
