The local borg used to sell a jug of green copper-based fence post

I went to HD tonight and in my area (Mass), they no longer seem to carry
*any* fence post preservative -- they only had various clear deck
sealants. I imagine this is due to various environmental phobias.

So, what do people recommend now to get the maximum protection for (non
pressure-treated) wood that is in ground contact?

Thanks

Check with stores most likely to carry it, farm supply store, Grange,
fertilyzer plants, garden centers, etc. Let your fingers do the
walking.
