How Do I Build & Fill A Pallet Collar Allotment Raised Bed That Will Last A Lifetime On A Budget

[@ibrstellar1080]

The black plastic wrap that farmers use I'd great for lining beds and go to a farm they have tonnes of the used stuff to get rid of.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Spot on my friend and I have spotted some white and black plastic dumped, which I will try and pick-up later. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

We just picked up some giant parsnips and carrots today from a church selling them for donations. I now have a better idea how people grow such massive vegetables after watching this video, Terry! ~ Sandra

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

You can get loads of carrot sticks from one giant carrot. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

My goodness, Terry, You really find great additions to your raised beds. Amazing 👍 Your produce must be Award Winning 🏆

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

It's ether very tasty or very big for the show. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

Thanks for showing us how you do it that makes sense with the double layer of plastic so the top doesn't slide down

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Let's hope this works this time Babette. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@downundervlogs]

Another good find with the extra pallet collars. Great layering of material in there too. Giant veg will be a winner this year.🙂🙂🦘🦘Cher

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

It's definitely nice to have free organic materials Cher and let's have to fun to see how big we can get them, sometimes it's just a bit of luck. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

Great work Terry. I have just finished building similar beds but out of pallets to avoid flooding at my allotment. You are lucky to be able to get pallet collars readily.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@@michaelmcclafferty3346 they are not so easy to get now, but I am greatfull for the ones that I do have, hopefully more coming from my regular source.

[@williamcolemansgardenandal9017]

Hashtag OCD there Terry, heck, we wouldn't want to be a millimeter out eh? Nice one as always, and simple as it sounds, the good ones on the bottom and the older ones on the top makes them easier to change out. Where was this advice 8 years ago when I was trying them for the first time? Have a great week old friend :-) 🍺

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

We learn by our mistakes as we go and I am looking forward to making some pallet collars cold frames of the surplus plastic from the polytunnel double skin the idea that you shared. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

wow are they blue barrow beds. so crafty! I love looking at new ideas! Great job. I wanted to make one into a tower for stawberries!! I love them so much! we make them into pies and wine every year! :)

[@ibrstellar1080]

Great video Terry and you do things to a high standard so well done👍.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I set it up all level and then one or two sink and it looks like I had been drinking when putting them in......🤣. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@myrustygarden]

Great job Terry and you should have an excellent giant veg crop 💪💪. Have a fantastic week stay safe, Ali 🇨🇦

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Cheers Ali, going to take a while to fill them ,but it will be well worth it in the end. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

"Little and often," eh 🤣. A massive job mostly out of the way has gotta feel good. You should consider doing a "how to" for all of us who don't have access to pallet collars. The screws in the bottom to avoid rot is a great share!! I know you have plenty of time 🤣 Have a great week Terry!! Cheers J&C 🌱🌱🌱

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

My new co worker has now been off sick for 3 weeks just at my busy time so I am again stretched to the limit and Mrs K has a nice DIY job list to do......🤣. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@alanhealey7885]

We aquired 4 pallet collars, set them up the same off the floor, with muck on the bottom and old compost bags around the side. Will need to cut the top's off to let the wood breath. Hopefully some carrots will grow lovely.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Best of luck Alan. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@WILLITGROW]

those are great beds i wish i could find those here in the states.looking good sir.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

So simple to install and with a little bit of extra effort they will last a long time. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@markshaw5835]

Great collar beds and u looking after them already, the soil u put in looks amazing and its even better its all free

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

When all my beds are done Mark I won't have to collect so many materials, very pleased with the progress. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@karenandriancontainergardening]

Wow Terry. Your garden looks so good. Airy and cleared. Do the work now and enjoy it later. When it is time to work on my garden, your videos will be my go to. Let the wood breathe. I like that. Wow, fresh horse poop. Yes, if I was a giant vegetable, I would be in vegetable heaven, 😂Thanks and take care

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

The beds will mature over time so let's hope the giants like it. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@whatdidyouthinkwouldhappen1203]

🤣Yes if I was a giant veg I would love to live in those beds. Fresh beds are so satisfying. Going to try and grow Sapora Giant cabbage this year, even made a new bed for it. So excited to see how it turns out. I ordered some netting to keep the moths off the cabbages this year. We have had snow and freezing lately but I think the weather is getting warmer, at least low 30s F. Going to take the dogs for a run and gander at the garden while I am out there. Happy gardening back at you.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Good luck with your big cabbage my friend and the butterflies don't seem to bother with red cabbages here. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@TheEnglishladyskitchengarden]

Great video Terry. I'm picking up three pallet collars from a friend. They'll give me a bit more raised bed space.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

They are so easy to manage my friend. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@glassbackdiy3949]

Good job Tel, you must have the skills of a magpie they want a tenner each for those pallet collars round ere!

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

You have to be prepared to ask and get the knock backs, but like a magpie I am quick and straight back to my nest........🤣. Wow I probably have a £1000 worth now. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@gwendameredith4908]

Thanks so much Terry. I love my pallett collars.I love my compost and soon I can start planting.Your videos are so helpful and I feel confident following them.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

I take it that you check the collars have the "HT" mark and not the "MB" mark? There shouldn't be many "MB" left in the country now but you never know if an old one has re-surfaced from somewhere. Nasty stuff Methyl Bromide.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I do keep looking as some that I find are very old Steve. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

@@terrykingsallotmentgardening We had an MB pallet at work a few years ago. The pallet man refused to take it so one of the lads took it for firewood, after we chopped it up

[@vanessawilkinson9855]

Glad I watched the next instalment…out of interest, the ‘cannabis’ tubs, I’m assuming there’s nothing harmful in the soil?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

If they have done the grow properly then they would have flushed out all the nutrients to make the plant think its dying and then it produces the buds that they harvest so hopefully everything is okay. They pay alot of money for the nutrients, but never dump them......🤣. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@richardhart7652]

Another good video,but it's an awful lot of work to produce something that will never be eaten

[@emmawilliams1534]

Hi Terry, great video! Newbie question…why are the bed corners on bricks?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Yes Emma, keeping wood off the ground will help to prolong the life and reduce the amount of water it takes in and it will dry out quicker. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Never paint your outdoor wood with gloss paint, only ever use wood preservative designed for outdoor use

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Very good point, I don't paint my raised beds so the wood can breath, gloss paint would seal all the moisture in. Nice comment my friend. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
