Hi All,
We've just finished installing 7 new raised beds...when I discovered my partner had used
wood that has been treated with "Micronized Copper Azole". I don't want to sound dramatic, but I am feeling a touch devastated. I have worked so hard to create a diverse and chemical-free soil food web...only to discover we are using wood with a FUNGICIDE. He thought it was fine as the hardware store told him it was 'fine for veggie beds'. I did a bit of hunting, it appears the copper leeching is minimal. It doesn't contain arsenic - which was the issue with old treated wood. But it does contain a compound called 'azole' that I can't find much about. Can anyone offer advice on how serious this mistake might be?
Thanks!
