Does anyone know how necessary it is to treat redwood posts with wood preservative before putting them in the ground? I realize that redwood lasts quite well in the ground as it is used for retaining walls, fence posts, etc., but HOW LONG should it last? With preservative? without? (We're talking about HEART wood.) Thanks for any advice/suggestions. Bob
