Subject: apples and arsenic

Could I please ask for an opinion here. Most of you know about the wooden
privacy fence that runs 200 feet south to north along the border of my best
garden bed. The fence is made of the old type of pressure treated wood (not
that the new type sounds any better!) When I saw it going up I scrabbled to
put a plastic landscape border 20 inches deep and three inches high between
the fence and my plots before rain hit and washed all the arsenic into my
beds. I also dug a small ditch to channel the water away and down the hill
from my garden beds. I planted shrubs along the edge nearest the fence and
keep that mulched heavily to catch any runoff that might find its way into
my beds. But I still don't use those beds anymore for food. Weeds and spent
flowers pulled out of it stay in it as mulch. The neighbor who did it is
long gone and the new neighbor is *very* elderly with lots of health
problems. The fence will stay until it rots now. Its been up for 3 years
now.

I am wondering if perhaps maybe I could use the bed (which is 10 feet
wide with a path going down the center of it and 200 feet long) for growing
dwarf apple trees. Would you do it?

Yeah - but poplar trees can become a damn nuisance weed!!! They grow into
HUGE trees, and their roots spread "for ever"!!! However, there are smaller
plants which also act as arsenic scavengers, however, I can't think of
names. Try googling for "plants as arsenic scavengers".

for 3 years
now.

I am wondering if perhaps maybe I could use the bed (which is =
10 feet
wide with a path going down the center of it and 200 feet =
long) for growing
dwarf apple trees. Would you do it?
