When using pallets for edibles, make sure you get heat treated, and not chemical treated.

I saw somebody make raised plant beds out of pallets that held pots for the plants. That way you could raise them however high you wanted. I like using clay pots for planting and made two of these. They worked quite well.Mine were the length of the pallets and the sides were one pallet board high. They held three pots and were easy to care for.
Just a thought.

I planted corn using a pallet. I put 4 to 5 stalks in each section. I did this so that the dogs would not dig them up.
When I first started the pallet, I used a weed barrier on the underside of the pallet, and put boards on the open ends just to keep the potting soil in.
They are working out great and they look really cool too.
