[Community_garden] Using Trex for Raised Beds

[Mike McGrath]

No--The information was spread out over many issues; and it was almost 
always in a bigger context involving lots of framing alternatives.
    If you ever get to PA, all the technical info and basic research should 
still exist in the OG research files at Rodale's library.

                                            Best,  Mike McG
