Pallet garden

I know most folk have known about this for a long time, but I really like this idea. I was going to try it last summer but somebody nicked my pallet, lol (no plants in it) Great idea if you have limited space and I really don't think you need all this very expensive vertical gardening equipment when you can do this for pennies.

 

I really like this concept, I toyed with the idea of making a fence to divide the veg/chickens off from the rest of the garden, but regretfully decided against it. I think it's a great idea for smaller spaces as you say.

That is a cool idea I have pallets stored for the wood burner - what would you line the pallet with to prevent the soil from falling out?

 

Best to check the codes on the pallet if you're gonna grow any edibles in it.

I like this idea, I can imagine it with hanging bedding plants in it

 

I've often wondered about this, but have never had the guts to try it myself. Would love to see your progress:-)

 

I would never grow edibles in a pallet, I have seen first hand the things that get spilt on them.

 

that makes perfect sense

 

I can't imagine it would be much worse than the rotting food in your compost, or did you forget the fact that a third of soil is made up of decomposed animals and plants?
Not to mention the odd animal faeces and urine that will make it onto your plot.

 

I am referring to highly toxic chemicals.

 

as a matter of fact the same applies to birdhouses
