DIY: planter

Turn a discarded old wooden pallet into a space-saving planter for strawberries, salad crops and herbs SAW IT IN HALF TO MAKE IT A MORE PLEASING AND LESS PALLET-LIKE SHAPE, THEN YOU CAN CREATE THREE PLANTING TROUGHS AS SHOWN, USING LENGTHS OF STRONG WEEDCONTROL FABRIC CUT TO SIZE. NAIL THESE IN PLACE AROUND THE BASE OF EACH SECTION USING ROOFING-FELT CLOUT NAILS, WHICH WON’T RUST BECAUSE THEY’RE GALVANIZED. PAINT THE WOOD OR LEAVE IT NATURAL. FILL WITH COMPOST, PLANT UP AND REMEMBER TO WATER AS NEEDED.
