My contact's husband burns the boards and then soaks with a rag in boiled linseed oil. Apparently the smell of the linseed oil keeps the wildlife away! "We have about 30 deer, chipmunks, mice, groundhogs, squirrels.... you name it, they won’t go near my beds. It’s not even fenced."

Not bad, my friend!
