Does anyone know how safe/dangerous the new pressure treated woods are, the
ones without arsenic in their preservatives, when used as raised bed
borders? And in particular, would they be dangerous when used in a fense a
few feet from blueberry bushes. That is, would these new compounds make the
berries unsafe to eat?

Thanks.

The new treated wood contains copper rather than arsenic salts. While still
poison, they are most likely safer. I wouldn't worry about the blueberries.
Remember they new treated wood must have stainless steel fasteners.
