Safe Timber Treatment Found

[mls]

I posted a previous query about finding a safe timber treatment to use for building a compost bin and possibly raised planters.

After some extensive research on the web I found a UK company that supplies a product called LifeTime Timber Treatment.

This is totally non-toxic even to fish and the timber only needs to be treated once. The product is made in Canada. As it is so safe it can be used for planters without fear of nasty chemicals leaching into your precious veggies. Although it is only for prevention of rot, moulds and fungi, the company tell me that it makes the wood less palatable to wood boring insects so hopefully that will help too.

I have already received my order - only took 5 days which is a first for mail for me - usually takes much longer. Will see how it goes as am treating softwood and it will be in contact with the ground.

Anyone out there looking for something similar for building or farming, the company was extremely helpful and efficient, so well worth a try.
