(Apologies for asking again what must be a very recycled question)
I have some pressure treated gravel boards from Wickes.
I want to use them to edge a couple of beds, so direct ground contact.
I was wondering whether I ought to apply any additional preservative to them, or if I go with them as they are, what the typical timeframe might be before they start deteriorating.
I'm not keen on the idea of lining them on the inside, as I think it'll create hiding places for pests, and the first time I catch the lining with a fork or something the moisture will get in anyway.
The usual considerations of nothing toxic / plant safe, apply.
I've used linseed oil on a chair before, but that isn't outside 24/7.
What do you recommend / any particular brand names?
(I did try the search function but it was a bit inconclusive)
Thanks
