Here’s another cool project you can do with those pallets. This time you can build yourself a raised bed garden, that is easily gridded and ready for you to plant your vegetables. However, you cannot just use any ordinary pallets for this project. Only use those pallets that are marked ‘HT’. These are the heated treated ones which do not have any chemicals that could sip into the ground and poison your vegetables.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 2 Wood Pallets
- Four 4′ X 4′ Posts
- Nails
- Soil
- Compost
- Broom
- Pry bar or hammer
- Garden rake
- Garden spade
- >Wheelbarrow or bucket
The first step in the building process is cutting the pallets into 3 pieces. You then attach your posts to each corner using nails and with 2 pallet pieces on the longer side and one piece on the shorter side you should have your main structure read. Next all you have to do is prepare the soil, level it out and remove any stones in the area. lay down your soil and your compost before planting your seeds or seedlings in the spaces that are created by the pallet.
