I don't have any probs with MG, but do think twice about the type wood used
in raised beds.  Please be aware of what chemicals the wood may be treated
with.  Probability has it there is an arsenic compound present if the wood
is sold as pressure treated.  Though I do not know the concentration, I
refrain from using PT woods in any containers with edible plants.
Just my humble and pseudo educated opinion,
Suz
P.S. please excuse if this is a repeat as I have not had time to dive too
deeply into my ever growing inbox
P.P.S. all the plantlings are hardening off on the deck.  The tomatillos
look like little trees and already have flowers, along with one of the
Bulgarian carrot.  The remainder are all doing well, just no buds yet.
Another couple of weeks and they will be in the ground.
Let the growing begin!
