Very bad idea!! They are not treated for in-ground usage and will rot
out in a few years. I know from experience - had to replace all my
fence posts just because I tried to save a few bucks.

True. Landscape timbers are made from peeler cores, the center of
pine/fir/spruce trees. About the poorest quality wood you could find.
Not the type of wood but the fact is is taken from the center of old
trees - the poorest part of the tree.
