How to upcycle an old pallet to make a vertical herb garden or strawberry planter

Here's a great pallet upcycle idea for the garden! A very simple and quick garden project which can be undertaken with basic hand tools and minimal carpentry skills. Oh - and pretty much for free!!
These are great if you are short of room and just want a small, low maintenance garden, or even just to dress up a boring fence!

This is the best vertical pallet planter design I've seen. Everyone else did theirs without putting bottoms on each row and I didn't think that was practical. U nailed it. I will be using your design. Thank u.

Nice simple DIY project, no need for measurements, fancy tools or complicated instructions!

This has to be the best ‘starter’ DIY project on YouTube.

This is exactly what I need to do. Simple and not hard to do with no heavy duty tools. Love it. All I need now is to look for some free pallets. Thank you. I am glad I found you.

Hello fellow zero waster! What a great idea. Particularly making sure to reuse the nails. Great video!

[troyke]

Excellent video! The best I've seen so far in terms of pallet planter boxes!! Thank you so much!!

[greenkitty]

My! I wish the pallets I got were as easy as yours to undo the nails!!

This is cool! I’d use an oil as a preservative on the timber though, like butchers block or something similar. My Pa made me a balcony herb planter out of my old pallets (I now realise, 20 years later). He knocked out the middle 3 boards I think and then cut it in half leaving a board on either side at either end. Didn’t he same thing with putting the bottom in and joined the halves together at the top of the side boards by using another piece the same as the bottom pieces leaving an open top to plant in which then sat over the backside by rail. It fit about 6 small pots total plus room for plants to climb over the long side pieces.

Did that make sense to anyone? It was like one pallet cut in half with all but the end boards knocked out. Some days I wish I could draw! 😂

Just what I was looking for! Cheers mate

Thanks for your kind sharing of your knowledge. I cannt do things like using a drill. Please give people like me (older)other easy ways to use our limited space around our homes to grow useful things!!👍

Great project mate! Just what I'm about to do myself! Burn em with a torch and that'll make em last longer the Japanese "Shou Sugi Ban" style.. makes em resistant to pests, rot, water and mould even fire proof weirdly enough as it changes the molecular structure of the wood...
(Just a tip)
