I have been to several different places the past couple of days trying to buy cedar for my raised beds. None of the stores carries it.I am going to have to check some specialty places since Home Depot and Lowes doesn't have it, but am wondering what else I can use.
I read here that someone said not to use pressure treated wood and I can find that anywhere but not the cedar.
Any help would be appreciated.Thank You, Natalie

Wood, brick, rocks, or cement blocks are popular materials for framing. Choose naturally rot-resistant woods such as cedar, cypress, or locust.

Gardening in New Hampshire is ALWAYS in raised beds...we are not called the GRANITE state for nothing! :)
