Hello! I'm 100% new to gardening and am starting into this new hobby this week. I've been reading the Square Foot Gardening and am going to build to build my first 4x4 raised garden tomorrow. One of the requirements is to build a Composter. I've got a lot of wood pallets in my garage I got from behind Lowe's (with their permission). I've seen a lot of videos on Youtube on how to make a composter with wood pallets but before I do, I wanted to make sure this is safe. I know it's not advisable to build a composter with treated wood for your garden (at least what I've read in the book) to avoid letting chemicals leech into the soil, but wasn't sure if that same rule applies for the composter. I don't know the history of this wood so I have no idea if it's been treated with chemicals or not.
Any advice would be welcome...thanks!
