[@Cyrilmc222004]

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

[@zinhypnotherapy]

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!

[@dianamoore2241]

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.

[@toddbeatty6759]

Pallets don't go to waste. 95% of them are actually recycled into mulch.

[@PallettoPerfection]

What a great idea, you have reduced wood waste, protected forests and limited wood collection, you have regenerated pallets to live again, congratulations!

[@karenmusa3052]

Love the potting bench, thanku so much

[@hyfy-tr2jy]

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

[@ThePuppymomma]

Thank You

[@GrenPara]

You are so correct, I have seen people get crappy pallets and use for fire to cook food over the flames. They risk their health and lives using pallets.

[@utterube]

Was going to say this, don't use this for plants you plan to consume. Only use this for decorative plants. Sadly pallets aren't the most aesthetic look.

[@NotLevelUp]

The ones to stay away from are marked “MB” that’s treated with methyl bromide. Look for ones stamped with “HT” or “KD” and you’re good to go. Just look for the best pallets possible (not in the back of a chemical plant) and you got some decent wood to work with.

[@kymkymkym2048]

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

[@mikethompson9745]

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.

[@dianagarvey8354]

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.

[@kaizersosai8560]

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

[@paulcullen814]

The first one, the herb garden. We did this 3 years ago on the first lockdown. I fixed 2 pieces of wood to the bottom to lift it 2 feet off the ground and take the weight, and it just needed 2 small brackets at the top to hold it against the wall. We then planted it with herbs and salad leaves.

[@farmstrong5434]

Love from our farm in Africa Morocco 🇲🇦

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

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 ❤🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@naturalist369]

It doesn't take that long to rot either . Unless you're using cedar or teak but that wouldn't be a pallet lol. Thanks 👍🏼

[@yggdrasil7942]

And then the wood roots feom the constant watering. Great idea.

[@aureliomartinez2633]

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

[@barbarawunder8174]

Lots of places to get good pallets, you just have to know who to ask, or where to find them. Some people make money on them, picking them up from places that have them and you are allowed to take them, then you also have to know where you take them to get paid for them!!! I know this only because I do know people who do this for extra money!!!! And it's all legal!!!

[@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.

[@DQSH8999]

Agreed. Over a year it would be toast

[@1982Mattyb]

Also he used a Brad nailer to frame it, which I agree was a terrible idea. That's more for trim, baseboard, etc etc. That's mostly used in the finishing stages to hide nail heads. He should have used a screw set with high sheer strength or pneumatic nails.

[@johnmason139]

Please do your homework Pallets are either heat-treated (heated to a high temperature in kilns to seal the wood) or treated with methyl bromide - a toxic pesticide that has been linked to human health problems and ozone layer depletion.

[@Lola54117]

Wow, great DIY's.

[@barnastil591]

Literally nobody's copying this. They're stacking 3 pallets and calling her good

[@clevensanders9286]

They make good sheds too.

[@Bremend]

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

[@chadrichardson3007]

Exactly!! The majority aren’t worth up-cycling. Great idea in theory but not practical for most.

[@cfwalker5542]

Very creative

[@NateOtto]

Industry is generally really good at reusing pallets hundreds of times until they're in far worse condition than this. I was working in a department store that was dealing with dozens of pallets a day when pallet crafting first got popular, and they never looked this nice... And we still chained them up to avoid letting them be stolen instead of reused.

[@anthonydemauri4095]

I was going to say something along the same lines. I’ve built pallets my whole life, my family has owned a pallet business since 1982 and I was gonna point of that unless you can find a very soft wood most likely pine pallet that the boards will but come off that easy.

[@B_Bodziak]

​@@anthonydemauri4095Having soil and moisture right against those untreated boards isn't going to turn out nicely after a year. They should have at least said to use plastic inserts instead of dumping the soil right inside.

[@emmafeather74]

Safety first: ensure the pallet isn't made with chemically treated timber as this leaches into the soil and into you if you're growing edible plants. Look for a stamp on the pallet indicating if it's safe or not. (Google the stamps). Otherwise, enjoy your upcycled pallet.

That first pallet herb garden could easily be scaled up to accommodate an entire side of a deck or patio and made into a veggie garden. Perfect for those living in a large city without access to property for a small veggie garden.

[@johnmason139]

These pallets are usually pressure sprayed with preservatives don't use them for growing food. If you must then line each trough with a heavy duty plastic

[@pamelabrogan3983]

If using pallets for food, please only use heat treated pallets. They are the only ones you can safely use. All others are treated with BAD chemicals.

Problem being Sage Rosemary, Thyme etc need a lot more room than the space allocated for them, my Rosemary is over 3ft tall. Pallets have been used for home DIY for years yes!

[@randomlyfactual1943]

Yes, your herbs can grow that big but there are a few issues with that: 1) not everyone has the space to let their herbs go crazy 2) unkept herbs can look like weeds if you don't tend to it and 3) you might be giving your herbs too much nitrogen. If you have even a small planter, you can grow a satisfactory amount of herbs if you let it bush out. Also, for any and all edible plants, fertilize with anything that has the highest number last (i.e. lots of Potassium, like 315)

Most pallets are made from hardwood and very difficult to nail into with a hammer. We had to bust up used pallets at work, and eventually, we used a saw to cut them up to avoid the nails/staples used in their manufacturing. I also agree they are often saturated with toxic chemicals. That's 40+ years of experience.

[@billgreen2426]

The vast majority of pallets are made from softwood. Pine, etc.

[@podunkcitizen2562]

The two places I worked over 30yrs. had both hardwood and pine pallets. The hardwoods had a deposit and were sent back. The pine pallets were disposable and we gave them away.

[@billgreen2426]

Worked in the packaging industry for 26 years. Pool pallets, which are made of hardwood, represent probably about 20% of the total freight moved. Hardwood is expensive for pallets and retrieving them, especially internationally isn't always practical.

[@podunkcitizen2562]

@@billgreen2426 I worked for a beer distributor. A lot of the domestic breweries used hardwood and it had to be sent back. International brewers like the English and Australian brewers used pine for the long trips on ships overseas like you said.

[@billneurohr2904]

I worked for a company that needed long skids. Partnof my job was making them out of 2 pallets joined together. It was impossible to hammer it a 10 penny nail. It would bend over. Had to drill holes for nails and wore out burned drill bits. HICKORY, Ash trees.

Notice that was the only ‘nicer’ looking pallet in the pile? It looked as if someone already sanded it down & gently placed it on the junk pile. Pass. I wouldn’t trust what the wood could have absorbed. If you could make it as a window box holder, so you can grow your herbs in a clean window box, then maybe ok, but not just dirt. Also, most people don’t have a garage full of tools you’d need to do this.
