I am planning to build some raised beds using hemlock boards. Do you know of a supplier in PEI that carries hemlock? Failing that, who is your supplier in Nova Scotia?
Thanks!

Hi Catherine, that’s up to you! 🙂 But I would put them side by side (with four feet in between). If you need to put up deer netting that makes it easier. Plus I find having the beds side by side looks more ornamental. 🙂 Hope that helps! Niki

Thanks!

Great question! I use local, untreated hemlock. For food gardening, I don’t use any treated wood. There are some treatments that are said to be safe, but I prefer to use rot-resistant wood like hemlock or cedar.

That is a great question! Do you remember which companies the ads were for? That would allow us to block them. We try to set up blocks for all of these types of companies, but sometimes they still get through. If we see them (and we check daily) or hear about them from readers, we take action and block that company. We work very hard to keep ads like this off our website – so we apologize for that! – but these companies are so sneaky and try hard to get through our filters. Thanks for the heads up and any info you have would be appreciated – Niki
