where to buy untreated wood for raised beds in upper NW/MOCO - Home Depot? any lumber yard?

We just used untreated pine from Home Deport. I feel like we spent all of $25 or so? Just a simple raised bed. One year later still going strong?

Same here. Haven't had any problems so far and it's been about a year for us too.

Here is an article on CCA in pressure treated lumber as used in raised beds. Interesting

It took a few years for ours to break down.

You can use cinder blocks if you don't want to use wood.
