    I need to prevent a wooden frame on my vegetable plot from rotting what is the best wood preserver to use?

    I am making a new wooden frame to cover my vegetable plot, before I fix the netting to it I need to use a wood preserver that is suitable to prevent the wood from rotting when in contact with the wet soil.  Can anyone advise me which product to use please?  Thank you.  Regards, Roy.

        Alternatively use posts made from sweet chestnut, these are very rot-resistant and will not poison soil fauna.

          There are a number of websites related to "Non toxic wood preservatives for gardens".  Here is one of them:
