What kind of wood did you use in your wooden build beds and where did you buy it?

Untreated wood will decompose over a few of years if exposed to soil and water. Treated wood will release poisons into your soil. The two woods that I know of that will not rot are expensive. Maybe you used composite wood (also expensive).

I want to get started on built raised beds but need to buy the right wood.

Thanks for your help.
