I used railway ties years ago, until i discovered all the nasty creosote and stuff used to preserve them!I posted on the pond..but ours are made with old railroad ties that were once bleachers at a city park. Love em!
I have a bunch of railroad ties that I found in the woods a bit ago. I almost thought of using them as a garden edge, but got cold feet because of all the nasty stuff in them. Instead I put them around the edge of the yard to keep stuff from washing down the bank. Hasn't killed the grass, but I still don't want it near my food.I used railway ties years ago, until i discovered all the nasty creosote and stuff used to preserve them!

We put black thick garden liner in before the dirt so there's a barrier.I have a bunch of railroad ties that I found in the woods a bit ago.

Hubby put some that were here when we moved in over by the edge of the nice area he had made near the house. Filled all in with rich soil and compost. I wanted to plant stuff there but he doesn't want fencing there and i am not planting veggies to feed varmints. He likes areas to look " park like" . Maybe i will plant some flowers there.I have a bunch of railroad ties that I found in the woods a bit ago.

Plant some herbs. Rosemary and such. If the area allows for it. You could have a nice herb garden!Hubby put some that were here when we moved in over by the edge of the nice area he had made near the house. Filled all in with rich soil and compost.
