Has No Life - Lives on TB
The garden bed I was working on is now done and I'm about to move on to the next one. The next two, possibly three, are going to have sides that are sections of tree trunk or pieces taken from large pallets. ( 4x4 brace pieces). I can't use diesel/oil mix on these because they are veggie beds, but I was going to buy the wood treatment from Tractor Supply. Except I can't find the wood treatment powder at Tractor Supply anymore. That was an unpleasant surprise. Not really something I expected to sell out.
I found a product online called Tim-Bor. It looks like it would work. Has anyone tried it? Or does anyone have other, affordable, product recommendations? I'm not looking for miracles. I know the wood will rot. But I also know that I'm deep mulching the whole area. So in a year or two, having "pretty" garden bed edges won't matter because there will be deep mulched pathways to help "contain" the garden area. There are multiple reasons for raised beds at the moment that will fade as the soil level builds up in the raised bed areas.. (Gravel, gravel, gravel, and oh yeah, more gravel.) I don't use tilling so gravel will stop being a problem as the topsoil layer deepens.
