Easy, cheap DIY large pallet container to grow potatoes in or use as a large compost bin.
*Pallet Safety*
There is mixed information online in terms of whether or not pallets are safe to use because they are often treated with a chemical (Methal Bromide) to kill insects. If they've been chemically treated they will be stamped MB. Other times they are heat treated and will be stamped HT. Make sure you check your pallets and see if they are stamped.
