15 years ago I could walk into a Home Depot and buy all the Redwood and Cedar planks I wanted. Now a days....
Anyway, I am looking to build raised bed gardens and have settled on either a composite (plastic with wood fibers mixed in used for decking come in 1" x 6" at Home Boy Depot) or cedar planks (1" x 6" or 1" x 8") mysteriously only found at 84 Lumber 30 miles away.
The Cedar is actually cheaper per foot than the plastic composite. Anyone had experience with this? Is this a thick enough cedar board to contain everything? Will the composite withstand being exposed to constantly wet soil?
Thanks for the help.
