[Greenbuilding] best lumber for raised vegetable beds

[Ron Cascio]

Re: [Greenbuilding] best lumber for raised vegetable bedsI used the original formulation Trex as corner boards and facia on our old home when we did some exterior remodeling some 15 years or so ago, and the stuff has had no degradation at all from what I can see. Even in the outside shower where it is under continually wet conditions for a good part of the year.

  Trex will not last 'forever' nor, according to Trex, even more than 10 years (I believe that is the length of their warranty - but I may be wrong about that, as they've worked with their formula over the years).by the US Army Corps of Engineers for bridges that can accommodate tanks and even locomotives.
