A:  Thanks for reaching out, Cody! We would not recommend the Wolman Classic Wood Preservative in your garden bed as it may leech into the soil. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1

A:  No it will not harm or leach into your beds. Good luck.

A:  This was taken from their submittal to the EPA. So if you're just using the raised bed for flowers I don't see a problem but if you're using it for vegetables to eat, I would say you shouldn't use it.

A:  Prior to spraying Rust-Oleum Wolman Woodlife Classic Clear Wood Preservative, you will want to protect plants, shrubs, and vegetation from overspray. If product does get on these surfaces, you will want to rinse them off with water, so that the product does not dry on the surface. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

A:  My experience has indicated that little to any damage would be done, but best to test it on a small section of your plantings to be sure. It’s a water born solution.

A:  The directions on the back clearly state the hazards of using this liquid. One of the precautions is to cover your plants and protect them from overspray, so this liquid obviously can harm them. It also warns about getting it into surface waters.
