Using wood in the garden

At present there are no official organic standards covering the use of wood preservatives in the garden. The information in this fact sheet should be regarded as guidelines only. It covers the use of preservatives to prevent rot and decay by bacterial and fungal agents, of wood used in the garden. Also discussed in the factsheet are some alternatives to the use of treated wood. This fact sheet does not cover treatment against woodworm and other wood boring insects.
