I hear a lot about not using tanalised timber in raised beds where vegetables will be growing. My question is, is it safe to use tanalised timber for raised vegetable beds and if not can I make it safe by seperating it from the soil with polythene or another non permeable membrane? Thanks
Is it safe to use seaweed as a fertilizer on dug ground for a vegetable plot?Does the seaweed contain the necessary minerals needed to enrich the soil? Should I dig seaweed into the soil if it is okay to use?

Dear Gerry - I have a rose bed at the front of house for past 3 yrs with 8 rose bushes. They have been healthy & beautiful for the last few yrs but I think I may have cut them back too hard at end Feb/early March. Only 2 of them have started new shoots & all the others look as if they are dead. Should they all be giving out new shoots at this stage? Many thanks as always.
