You can also paint the pallet green and write welcome or your last name. Or Welcome to whatever you last name is. Very pretty.

I would be careful what kind of pallet you use for vegetables/edibles tho or even indoor furniture use. Some are treated w/ chemicals to prevent insects. I would google which pallets are safe to use, but I believe if they have a stamp w/ a 'HT', which means heat-treated, they should be ok, but please research more.

I wouldn't some pallets are treated and the chemicals could leach into the plant and your food

If you lay it flat you can do veggies like lettuce spinage radishes chives small plants yoi lnow not good for tomates its not deep enough

Uunless you are sure your pallet is untreated I wouldn't advise doing anything edible

Lay it flat and water...

Lift it back up when it drains...

Or, stick the hose nozzle right in the dirt, between the plants...

Or else I would use a spray bottle...

A heavy duty one.

If you have enough soul packed in, no.

wait to stand up until plants are established.

I would be more worried about rain showers eroding dirt between slats

I've created a vegetable garden several years in a row with great success! I did not hang mine but used it horizontally by removing several of the palate centerboards to separate each variety

Yes, the pallet could lay flat. Be sure to staple the landscape fabric on the sides to hold the dirt in.

If you want to have a raised garden, find a study table, a bale is hay, or a backless bench. Balance the fabric wrapped pallet on your structure, then pour in the potting mix. Voilà, a raised garden! ☺️

You can do that. I have done it in the past. The only issue for me was how low to the ground it was. But, you could stack them so they are raised above the ground more of you prefer.

?? The article tells you everything you need.

Look for free pallets (check Craigslist, any local classifieds, local warehouses, home improvement stores, shipping companies and any place that is likely to receive large shipments. Also many cities have free or reuse warehouses).

I was thinking the same thing. I've done a palette garden with my partner before. We cut up another palette and put under so the plants wouldn't fall down. I think if your doing this u should out the flowers or seeds/veggies once palette is standing!

I think it is because the plants were planted with the pallet lying down. When the pallet was put in the vertical position they drooped (gravity ya know) . I believe that after a couple weeks of adjustment they are more upright,

I agree with Mkl - they look stressed from being freshly planted. I don't think they have been in the soil for long. They will be fine and reach for the sun. They don't care which way they are, as long as they have soil for their roots!

All plants suffer a certain amount of root shock when transplanting them and this is all that is. Once watered in well and give a few days to settle in they will be upright and happy once more

I was wondering the same thing.

You staple the black cover all the way across all the slats so it cant fall out.

It would definitely still fall ou the front. The only way to really make this work is to make long pouches across the length of the boarsd. It woyld be a bit of a pain, but doable.

Was wondering same. I think if you let the plants take root - maybe a week of growth then the soil wouldn't fall out the front when you stand it up. It would take a couple days for the plants to reorient their growth upward before it would look quite right I think.

Even if you allow the plants to establish themselves before raising it to vertical, everytime you have a good rain or water it, the dirt will inevitably wash down and out the front I would think.

maybe staple in some mesh or window screen at each level on the inside of course to hold each level of plants and soil in, if using in upright position?

We did two weeks and it was fine

meeee too

I planted a 'flower tower' that is vertical just like this. I planted mine while upright using a stick to tamp down the soil to the bottom. I periodically watered the soil to tamp down more. Worked perfectly!

We’ve made this for succulents and the soil doesn’t fall out. Works great, looks good.

Beautiful idea

We are all guessing. It would be nice if " Amanda C, Hometalk Team" would tell us. Thx

The stapled fabric holds each individual plant and dirt.

I think she's using the soil fabric in between the slats ? I think.

Because she stapled along each beam it creates pockets for the soil

I was wondering the same thing. Seems to me it would show much better

I would be cautious with anything edible unless you are sure that it has not been treated with chemicals that could leach into the soil and be absorbed by the plants.

Yes. It sure will. I've planted herbs in pallets for many years.

Yes extremely wellhabe used two for several years for smaller containers. I use the bottoms of two liter jugs and the square juice bottles. Reuse and recycle

My guess is that you pack the dirt in really tightly. You might consider adding more along with a layer of mulch after its upright to places that shift or droop.

Note! If you want to do this with edible plants, be sure to research the different wood ratings/codes of pallet wood. They use different types and some are treated with toxic chemicals. All pallets should be stamped with this info☺️

Since this is outside, I'd think this would be SO messy with the dirt draining, from rain and such. I think it's sweet, but for me, IMO, I would keep it flat and use it as a raised bed instead. But great idea. thanks.
