raised bed paint

[Blunda]

Hello

I am building a raised bed in my garden which will be used to plant flowers. I will be using scaffolding boards and off cuts of a fence post to hold them together. I was wondering what paint I could use to paint the wood? I have been using ronseal woodland trust paint, it says it has a low voc content between 0.3% 7.99% and was wondering if this amount of VOC will still effect the soil?

Thanks

put a liner between the timber and the soil? (not like the QE2, but maybe polythene?)
