I love watching the changes and growth.<br /> Barb, the RR ties I am getting are over 20 years old and really dry. If they were newer I would worry about creosote, but being this old, it's dry and gone. I wouldn't use them otherwise.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-78938881772924989052010-03-09T15:05:02.809-05:002010-03-09T15:05:02.809-05:00We are in the 50's today here.

I know you are not using dangerous chemicals on your garden & they have chemicals applied that are not safe for food. Don't know if wrapping them in a thick tarp would work. Is worth checking out though. Someday we will live at the farm & be as self-suffient as you I hope.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100579796650378775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-41652919052835109962010-03-08T19:21:33.795-05:002010-03-08T19:21:33.795-05:00Chris, you are heading in the same direction that ...Chris, you are heading in the same direction that I want to be going in. I'm getting there slowly, but just really started last year.

The temp the last 2-3 days here has been in the lo 50's! It's wonderful! We worked in the yard, getting all the dead and broken limbs from the trees from being snow and ice covered and broke from the weight. Guess you'll be getting rid of some more yard again this year. lol. One of these days you'll be just one big garden! Wow! look at that freezer! That's a lot of food!! Have a good week!...debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
