Re: Building planter from scrap lumber

Along the same lines as the OP mentions, was wondering about utility poles 
for an above ground garden border.  They've been exposed to the elements
for 
at least 15 years.  Not greasy, but dusty surface.  Creosote, I believe. 
Intend to wrap them with heavy plastic with excess draped length to the 
inside of the garden.
