Fawking lumber prices are sky high on everything and I can't see th e m coming down any time soon.Preservation. I could use cedar wood planks but 8ft x 6in boards at lowes are $25 each. Wondering if I use untreated pine with organic stain of some kind will be cheaper and just as effective

Maybe go with a hard wood, cypress, or western red cedar since longevity is your goal.
Here you go. We just used this on kiln-dried, NOT pressure-treated, lumber for a raised bed. No paint, no stain, just water-proofing to add a few more years. I tried to buy local, but no joy. This was via Amazon:Anyone use any type of organic paint for outside planter boxes? Building some for herb planting and don't want nasty chemicals leaching into the soil
