A friend of mine shared this photo with me. I like it! Not only does it recycle old wood shipping pallets, you can pretty much plop it anywhere and have a garden. Think about apartment balconies or building rooftops.
Here's the original post word for word:
Got Pallets?In my opinion, this is probably the nicer/cheaper alternative to the bucket garden we have going right now.
Hate weeding?
Don't feel like turning up a bunch of grass?
Use a pallet as a garden bed - staple garden cloth on the backside of the pallet fill with dirt and start growing!
You can also place your pallet on the ground in a rocky location rather than a grassy area, this way you will not need the garden cloth to stop the weeds and grass comin through.
Please be advised: Use raw wood pallets!
Some that are shipped overseas may contain chemicals. Where I am from most are from raw wood - not saying that everywhere is!
And for those of you that don't know where to get pallets - look in industrial areas, hardware stores etc.
This was just an idea - some inspiration for everyone.
Enjoy!
Happy gardening and may you be blessed with abundance for 2012!

What a terrific idea. I like too that they are portable; no need to worry about weather or theft or moving. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteNever thought about that. I know frost is a big deal on the mainland. Not so much a problem here.
