It's cedar, like the others have said, you should never use pressure treated wood or any type of sealant in a vegetable garden.

I have a cedar raised garden I built 4 years ago. It rains 10 months out of the year here and it's still going strong. No indication of any rot or breaking down.

But your comment is important and shows the power of the internet though. If you went to build a garden, you wouldn't just run out and buy pressure treated wood because you know it lasts more. I'm sure you would take the time to research it at least a little bit on the internet. You'd find this out within the first 10 minutes and then go build yourself a great bed.




Also, even if it does break down after a year, you can just plop together a new one.

It's just wood.
