I am curious if the resin is a problem for raising foods that I wish to eat?

We have grown everything in it ,and there hasn't been a problem. My neighbor has one also, and she said it's just fine.

I have not had any problems. I have had romas, kale & various squashes - all good flavors & all grew well.

Hey Vivian - I looked it up on google and found this: http://greenhomeguide.com/askapro/question/is-a-resin-planter-safe-for-planting-vegetables It's safe according to the FDA. Other alternatives are cedar boards if it concerns you.

Hey Vivian,I'm not sure - I grew vegetables in it last year with no problems. I have heard not to use landscape timbers that have the chemicals in them to keep them from rotting. You might ask the manufacturer - Suncast they may be able to answer your question.

This material is totally safe for growing veggies or anything else you are going to consume. What you want to stay away from is green treated timber as well as railroad ties. Both are saturated with heavy toxic chemicals that would leach into the soil, and thus become absorbed by anything that grows in close proximity...

I didn't have much luck with growing things this last year. I am not sure if it was the new soil I used or the weather as it didn't matter if it was in my raised beds or not. I have been adding compost this fall and winter so I am hoping I get a better return this next year. I have noticed that the top part of the raised bed has pulled apart. I am hoping I can push it back together. I am not sure why this happened.

The planter box set up is superb. We've raised the largest crop of delicious tomatoes, green onions, garlic, leeks and carrots to date. Simply outstanding! Good luck with yours and eat the produce without fear.

NO!! Only high acid items like fruits and tomatoes! Everything else MUST be pressure canned! If you don't have the Ball Canning book, please procure one and follow the times prescribed ~

I keep my supplements away from any light source so not to concerned. You would have to contact the manufacturer as to why they use clear plastic? I have no clue. I will share with you though, I'm not buying this product again because it does't agree with my stoach repeating with a fishy taste.

Not really. It will make the item really small in height; possibly making the item tough to eat.

No. You are exposing the epoxy to liquid. Epoxy is not food-safe and could leach chemicals into your food. You would be saving maybe $15 at the cost of your future health. Illness and potential health issues are just not worth it. Just go buy another crock, you can probably find a used one at a thrift store, garage sale, Craigslist, a newspaper ad, eBay, or an auction for very cheap.

No. Mix about 7-10 drops of catalyst (the hotter it is outside, the less you use) into about 3 cups of resin. I cast many live plants and they are always fine :-)

If it's syrup, water and CO2, you're fine. Look at the ingredients for some possible ingredients that may react with the plastic. There's so much stuff in the liquid we are unfamiliar with.

In one sense, yes, but I would not try to eat it. We have had these canvas rafts before and they are the only pool toy we have found that stands up to the pool chemicals.

yes some type of resin. hard to tell that it is. very happy with it for what we use it for.

Mine doesn't have a resin coating. No lead in mine either. The cup is good the lid is less than desirable. Cheap and flimsy.

The resin top is very bumpy, not smooth. It really depends on how you want to use table. Resin top not good for writing or dining, but it is very durable.

i would advise you not to eat any unsealed food products !!!!!! return them as damaged goods and ask for new shipment .

I'm not sure I would use around any food, it does have some fiberglass type fibers in it.

Probably have to get it hot to thin out the viscosity of the resin like paste. I just stab it with toothpicks and use that.

It is a quite sturdy resin. My son plays with his all the time. I think, if you sat on it, you might be able to break it, but it is NOT flimsy.

Resin is a plastic compound, and if cast heavy enough is fine. This is not. Very flimsy, and mine in fact arrived cracked and I returned it. Can't recommend it.
