Wood

Question

What is the best kind of wood to use when building a raised garden box in south central Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

I like cedar, but nearly any wood can be used successfully for raised beds. You may want to line them, however, to help prevent rotting. This is also a good idea if you are using treated wood, since chemicals can leach into the soil. The following articles should be of some help to you:
