It has taken me a while to getsyou to the job bit i am making my first one now and will glue bamboo canes in the gaps. I think it will look beautiful.
Yes! This I will definitely do. I love your garden design too! My space is rectangular, but I'm going to use your garden layout as inspiration. Thank you!
Great video thanks. I have some old pallets that I needed to dispose of but will make some of these instead now to grow wild flowers 🌼 in. Thanks again 👍
Speaking of pallets. I live in the city (Chicago) and am considering ways of starting an urban farm. There are SO MANY developers that are just sitting on vacant land for future sale or developments. My idea was to have a mobile urban farm and provide a sort of custodial service to the developers, grow produce at a profit for my effort, and be able to pick up and relocate if/when the land changed hands. My idea (so as to NOT reinvent the wheel) was to make raised beds out of pallets. This way, with just a pallet-jack, I can rearrange them on the property when needed; or load them on to a truck for relocation. I want them to be wheel chair height so I can employee disabled people. I imagine I can make one bed out of every 3 or four pallets. I'd use one for the base, take wood from the others to make the sides, and use the supports from those to reinforce the main base. Since pallets are typically 48" I imagine the first 30" can be the 'in-ground' production bed, the back of the pallet-bed can be built up to provide a trellis (using even more pallet wood or something lighter) for veining crops; and herbs can possibly be planted in whatever leftover space is in between. Only thing is, I don't know if I should use a giant grow bag inside, or if the sides can be built up well enough to support the inside pressure of the dirt and water. I've calculated that 7 of these in a row would be just over the length of a standard 25 foot bed. Perhaps you could give it a try? At the very least you'll get some content out of it.
If I were you I would just put my design on top of another pallet. That way you will use 3 pallets per raised bed and you can do them fast (this is the goal if you want to scale the project). Also I would use a grow bag or some sort of bag that would fit in the raised bed containing the soil.
If you know your source you are safe. At least here in Europe. Plus if you use plastic lining so that the soil or food is not in contact with them they are still OK :) But I agree that not all the pallets are safe to use directly.
Michael most pallets have stamps that state if they are heat treated H-T or kiln dry K-D, the one you don’t want is methane bromide M-B which is sprayed on insecticide and is very harmful, also if you see a stain just get rid of it, so many pallets, every where you go!!!

Well done on our easy to follow tutorial, specifically easy for those of us who don't have fancy tools - nga mihi nui
I am glad you like it! Hope you make many raised beds with this plan and grow lots of vegetables in them! :)
Yes. You are a genius. Really great way to use the pallet.
Thank you so much 😀 I gave a lot of thoughts in to it :)
It has taken me a while to getsyou to the job bit i am making my first one now and will glue bamboo canes in the gaps. I think it will look beautiful.
Yes ! Yours is , by far, the best design I've come across. Thanks.
Thank you! If you will make one it would be wonderful to see some pictures of it :)
Great design for the raised garden beds! With pallets you can do splendid projects.
Thank you. I put a lot of thoughts when designing this pallet raised garden bed 😊

That was the goal of the video. So anyone can build one :)
Great presentation
Loved this tutorial!
Very nice. Thank you.
Peace
Thank you too!
Thank you so much for your great video. I was able to follow your clear and concise instructions and I built lovely raised beds.
YES! Thank you for such a simple tutorial.
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Would you build one? Half a hour and is done :D
@@SmallGardenQuest YES! I will be collecting everyone pallet I can find now. lol. thanks
@@GardeningWithSkinnyBoyRandy :D Just do IT!
YOU'RE AMAZING THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Yes! This I will definitely do. I love your garden design too! My space is rectangular, but I'm going to use your garden layout as inspiration. Thank you!
Your welcome! Hope the pallet raised bed will serve you well :)
@@SmallGardenQuest great video my friend!
Yes. I have two pallets and I am going to use your method. Thank you.
Your welcome. Can you please post the picture of the finish product on my Facebook page? I want to see the result 😊
Yes! Just what I was looking for....I had this idea in my head and will tackle this project during the Easter holidays....Thank you
Have fun! Hope you build it by now... I am sure 30 minutes have passed :D Happy holidays!
love this design
Great video. We will be making them
Yes definitely 👍🏾
Great I would love to see some pictures :)
I liked that you used hand tools and made it simple. I don't want to spend a lot of money on tools or do too much unnecessary work.
Great video thanks. I have some old pallets that I needed to dispose of but will make some of these instead now to grow wild flowers 🌼 in. Thanks again 👍
Good job!
Amazing
thank you. YES!
Great! Can you post some pictures on my Facebook wall once you finish it :)
Yes!
:)
THANK YOU!!
You're amazing! Your welcome!
Could you stack them on top to make a high raised bed.
Yes, you can! Just make sure to place some rib bars to secure the stacked raised beds in place.
@@SmallGardenQuest ok great I'll give that a go thanks
Love the design of your garden! I am working on adopting a similar but smaller design for the side of my house!
Great. Go for it! If you can please share the pictures of the end result on my Facebook page. I would love to see them :)

Very nice video. Learned a lot. New friend here.
Thank you! If you build a raised bed like this please post it on my Facebook. I want to see it 😁
Love it
Will you make one?
Great idea to put the nails in the base.
Thaks! I was worried that the nails wont work but the raised bed is still up from the ground :D
Super
so glad I found your channel I am definitely going to make the same design
If you do please post pictures on my Facebook, so we can all see your beautiful work (Link in the description) :)
Yes
Hope it serves you well :)
Thank you
Welcome! Hope you try the build and that the raised bed will serve you well!
Yes!!
I would love to see the finish product :)
Thanks!
yes
Nice! But when you lift off the ground and put stones under, how do you keep the soil from leaking out the bottom?
genius!
Thank you. I put a lot of thought into it! Glad you like it! How many of them will you build?
yes!
I want to see pictures! :D
YES!!😊
Please send me some pictures on my Facebook when you do :)
Y-E-S!!!
Great!
I would cut the pallets in half. Save some cutting and just put the extended pieces down into the soil to help hold it in place.
That could work too :)
Anyone know the dimensions of this??
Do you know how many toxic substances does the pallets contain? The older they are, the more used they are, more toxic they are...
If you know your source you are safe. At least here in Europe. Plus if you use plastic lining so that the soil or food is not in contact with them they are still OK :)
But I agree that not all the pallets are safe to use directly.

Yes
Great!
Yes
Wish you all the best with the build!
Yes
Would love to see it
