They are on the naughty list over here but I was wondering whether anyone has them in their garden? For how long?
The creosote debate continues - but I'm of the opinion that having been on the railways for 30+ years - and then re-used in a garden for 20++ years that another 20+ years of use is enviromentally sound (double recycling).

Anyone worried by the carcinogenic factor?
Their prescence on the naughty list here is our main concern.

I use them in several places in the garden. Believe it or not, new ones are cheaper than used.

IE not actual sleeper but similar. The free ones I have located are around 60++ years old. We are thinking of living dangerously and breaking a rule in Switzerland!!

I suspect you would have to eat a ton veg daily to ingest a signicant amount.
Think it has to leach into the soil & get into the veg

In my last house I had the garden landscaped and a terrace was created using black sleepers to hold the banks back. They were extremely effective and, being black, almost disappeared from view.
