Can I build a bed of pallets?
Would you like to garden in a confined space, for example on your balcony or in the yard, then you can build a great bed of Euro pallets. A raised bed made of pallets is also a practical alternative in the garden.
The raised bed of pallets
For a raised bed you need at least four pallets, one for each side. It gets about 90 inches high. If you mount the pallets so that the "smooth" side is inside, then you can create additional planting possibilities on the outside. On the Internet you will find examples and building instructions for different variants of a raised bed. Let your imagination play or use the suggestions of other gardeners.
The table-top made of pallets
With Euro-pallets you can not only build a raised bed but also a practical and versatile table-top. Since you do not have to bend over at a table-top, the care is particularly easy and back-friendly at the same time.
You build the bed from a Euro pallet, which you mount on supports. This can be an old table frame or Euro pallets, which you saw to the desired height. Dress the pallet with foil and fill it with earth.
The balcony-bed of a pallet
Also on a small balcony is enough space for a mini-garden. Build a bed from a Euro pallet. This is very simple and is suitable, for example, for a herbal bed. However, you have to reshape the palette a bit and maybe paint it colorfully. The exact instructions can be found on the Internet.
Remove every second board from the pallet and fix these boards in such a way that, together with the remaining boards, boxes are formed when you place the pallet upright, boards run horizontally. The boxes are lined with foil (for example pond liner). As you wish, you can plant the boxes directly or fill them with pots. Preferably choose relatively small plants.
