I'm glad to see that pallets are not going to waste..I knew someone who used some to make a fence around his front yard. It looked good.

My mom would have loved that. She liked making stuff like that. Unfortunately she passed away last week but I may make this for her anyways.

I love how videos like these show people dismantling pallets so easy with a hammer. Certainly pallets in the UK they are held so strong you need to cut them apart!

Thank you so much Home Talk, I really really enjoyed watching these projects and I really really love ❤❤❤❤the herb garden and the potting station. Brilliant ideas

I have worked in warehousing. I would never do this unless it was a brand new and untreated pallet. Most pallets at some point get all sorts of nasty chemicals spilled on them. Pallets are reused hundreds of times and you never know what has been on them

Love the potting bench, thanku so much

I've been making these for years and selling them, and you need to line the bottom of the wood other wise it will rott. Also spray with wood spray paint to make the wood water proof so that they don't Rott.. its the same with out door furniture. Also alot of pallets have been sat out in the rain etc so make sure any pallets you do get put them somewhere warm like inside to dry the wood out.... The wood spray paint you will get at B&Ms if in the US you have that store or any hardware store I'm Scottish. But please take heed as you don't want your hard wood work ruined in the first 3 months.... sorry for spelling mistakes. I make thinks, don't write alot. 🤣🤣 xx

Ty all you Webster dictionaries on proper pronunciation of herb enough already it’s funny how you comment about the people who open themselves to teach and share with others and get comments about how much time they have on their hands blah blah look in the mirror at yourself and stop projecting your insecurities to those who appreciate people who share their ideas and gifts wit us. I would love to see more videos and I think they are great videos. Great job ignore the haters please!!!

Only one thing i'd suggest, If that unit will be outdoors in the weather, you should use Titebond 2 or 3 on every joint, As that pallet wood starts to absorb moisture the brads will let loose, Or 1 1/4 deck screws will stand the outside. Great idea for sure.

You should see what the union jack waving knuckle draggers in northern Ireland do with them at this time of year 🥱

[Bremend]

I don't think I've ever seen a pallet that good looking before. Makes me wonder...

[lorrainevanlelyveld]

good idea. But eventually the wood will rot because of the soil and water. Rather line them or treat the areas whete you are planting. love from South Africa ❤🇿🇦🇿🇦

[jmahoney]

I have seen many people using pallets for gardening and seating benches and tables.

[kaizersosai]

I turned scrap pallets into a Tesla model Y. Pretty simple if ya know what you're doing

[Chaos_Feyre]

This wood isn't treated, so it will quickly get water damage. The soil will retain water too, but you didn't use any kind of liner to protect the wood. And because it will swell and warp, those nails will soon pull out.

An improvement would be to use an outdoor stain or paint on the wood, get pots that fit in or get liner and drill holes in the wood and liner for water drainage. And use screws.

I work in recycling pallets we dump so much wood 4/4 3/4 plywood and 100.of pallets to the crusher

[robbyrd]

I've heard of test tube "Herb" babies but didn't know that you could grow them from dirt.😁
Maybe I got it backwards, and the test tubes are for "Erbs."😉
