Using old pressure treated wood for vegetable garden?

14 years ago

Hi,

I wanted to get some opinions on this.

I have a stack of old pressure treated 2x4's that I was thinking of building a raised vegetable garden with. These planks were originally part of my neighbours deck for almost 30 years and have spent the last few months in my garage drying out.

How much of a threat is there of any remaining chemicals in this old wood leaching into my garden soil. Will lining it with plastic help? What do you suggest?

Thanks
