Re: Single pallet garden
Nice one,would make a good strawberry planter,to avoid watering prob2 plastic downpipes either side of centre piece drilled several times ,the length of the pallet,fill with clean aggregate or similar,water down the tubes.

Re: Single pallet garden
Good idea. I've got one random pallet in the garden and I don't think it's ever going to be dismantled for anything.
I thought this use looks so nice and great use of space.

Re: Single pallet garden
I like this. My daughter's just got her first garden and it's very small. Part of it is taken up with a small, enclosed patio, so this would be great against one of the walls.

Re: Single pallet garden
I was given some long, narrow pallets a couple of years ago. I stood them up, lined them with old feed bags and planted up. They work well for deep rooted veg, I'm going to try carrots in them this year.

Re: Single pallet garden
Zoe I think I like your feed bag idea better. Not that I have any but compost sacks would do. That membrane looks a bit fiddly and I don't have a staple gun so would have to tack it on.

Re: Single pallet garden
Compost sacks should be fine. Punch a few small holes in the lining to stop it getting waterlogged.
