Pallet plot

Recently I saw a picture using a wood pallet as part of the bed of a garden. They took a pallet and stapled hardware cloth to the bottom of it. They then filled the spaces in the pallet with soil and then you plant the seeds in the space between the slats of the pallet. The pallet is laying on its ‘back’ such that you end up with a 4 x 4 foot [ish] garden plot. The hardware cloth prevents grass and ‘weeds’ from growing up into the garden bed. Looks like a good plan.

The wood would soak up some of the water holding the water for later use like a woody bed or hugal bed.
2 variations that I suggested included use of a 2nd pallet at right angles to give climbing crops something to support them. The other variation would be to lay down several layers of card board or a couple of inches of newspaper under the pallet which would help prevent weeds and grass from coming up like the hardware cloth does. The cardboard or newspaper also helps hold moisture for later use b the plants. As time goes on the paper will break down and help build the soil.

Of course this would be only if you own the property. If you live in an apartment this would not be an option. You can however plant in pots such as here

BTW seeds have been showing up in the stores for over a week now. If you have not started planning your garden already, you best get a move on IF you are going to produce anything this year.

With the way the world is going it is prudent to practice growing at least some of your own food.
