I used a different Brand but would assume all are closely related. Very easy to work with although a bit heavier than, pine or other softwood. Flexes easily but retains the shape if supported. Three years now in the soil and they appear to be as solid as they ever were. Double up on your supports if they bear weight, like slopes that are backfilled. They also make excellent bottoms for compost piles, the shovel slides like wet plywood but doesn't peel apart.<br><b>References : </b><br> For a cutting garden they should do fine.

I just would not use it around food crops because it hasn't been around long enough to determine if something may contaminate the soil enough to be taken into crops. I doubt it--but I wouldn't do it myself.<br><b>References : </b><br>OSU degree in horticulture I’ve used it in various applications and it’s pretty amazing stuff.
