Red Wood Chip Toxic ? (forum)

3 responses

Michael starts with ...
Hi ,
I just bought lots of the red wood chips to use for my landscaping project. A friend just told me that wood chips are soaked in a red colour dye and is potentially toxic. Is there any thruth to this and if so why are the major garden centres selling it in the first place without any warnings?

Have you done a web search or asked the manufacturer what the name of the dye is?

Surely dye isn't as toxic as the arsenic etc used commonly to preserve outdoor timbers such as sleepers etc.
