Which wood would you use?

RE: Motor Oil (New OR Used)

Motor oil will "float off" the wood you put it on and will contaminate your plants and then move on to contaminate your ground water, or if it "runs off" and gets to the storm drains will contaminate downstream.

If you MUST treat your wood, use a weather proof oil or preservative DESIGNED to be used on wood outdoors. These oils and preservitives are much less likely to "float off" and contaminate everything. Bear in mind you are going to kill off your vegitation, and if you have any run off that migrates to your "fish pond" you will be killing your own fish. Stay with products designed for the task at hand.
