Most landscapers use cheap treated pine sleepers to build garden beds.
Whilst this might look OK at first, it is sold "wet" , which makes it particularly unstable.
Treated pine warps and cracks over time. Screw loosen, boards twist and sag, corners go out of square. Colours fade. And arsenic based preservative leaches out.
However we build our wicking beds out of a stable, kiln dried timber. We over-engineer each joint to ensure everything stays aligned and locked in place for years to come. We take into account timber expansion and seal ends appropriately.
And what's more our timber has been
treated with a safe, vegetable friendly natural preservative and iron oxide, which looks good for years to come.
