I've been reading a fascinating book, "The Truth about Organic Gardening" by Jeff Gillman. He really lays out the "benefits, drawbacks, and the bottom line" when it comes to using chemical or organic alternatives. It was surprising to learn that some chemicals aren't as bad as I thought and some organic methods are not so good. I'm with you on the pressure treated lumber and railroad ties. I wouldn't put either in my garden. I am trying to figure out how to grow a "Hot Pocket" plant ;) This is a really good post.

I don't remember if they smoked, but I do remember she said they loved to garden and they used railroad ties as a border. I would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to food your are going to be ingesting. Nice post honey!
