I wanted to add my 2 cents here on anything like RR ties, telephone poles, etc. My husband put some old creosote wood around my 60x 80 ft garden when we lived in North Dakota. Wherever the wood was laying, and within a foot in each direction away from it, it killed anything growing there. Whether vegetables or weeds, if they were unlucky enough to be growing near these areas, within a month all was dead, and the ground around them was also nasty looking. The heat from the summer sun made them smell like we had a RR track running thru my yard! (which that in itself would not be a bad idea. LOL! ) I will never use RR ties for vegetable or flower gardens! <br />But I do have a question, does anyone here think that these concrete reinforced ties will be the norm in the future in the US? Somehow, some of the ambiance of the RR tracks would be gone if even a Metra system (like Chicago Metra) would go with concrete ties. How well would it blend in? (or stick out and really be obvious) <br />Debbie (stuck in TX but rather be back in Chicago walking the Metra N/W line!)
