 hi there Linda~   If you are worried about the arsenic in the treated wood 
.... you could line the bed with plastic liner of some sort.... I would like 
to have some proof that the treated boards would have enough poisons in them 
to warrant this  kind of  action .......... anyone know how much poisons are 
in treated wood and how much would be absorbed by peppers or other veggies to 
warrant a fear of using treated boards in raised beds????? Wouldn't the  
poisons over time become depleted???? Million $$$$ questions......anyone have 
the answers??? You have  Raised (no pun intended) my curiousity....... we 
don't need deadly peppers being grown!! just hot hot hot~ Debra~
