| 606969 | 2007-10-31 06:39:00 | I have a couple of sheets left over from reroofing my house. If I wanted to use them for making a raised garden bed (veggies not sleeping) what's the best way to treat the inner surface? Painting or lining or both? Martynz |

| 606971 | 2007-10-31 10:11:00 | Use lead based paint. The lead in the paint provides good nutrients for the plants. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 606972 | 2007-10-31 10:27:00 | Ive used mulseal which is non toxic, however it is only avaliable in 20 litre drums I beleive. It is used as a sealer for concrete usually but is suitable for plants |

It is used as a sealer for concrete usually but is suitable for plants Apparently its available in smaller quantities so I'm considering it. Thanks to all who replied. Martynz |
