Great idea. I'm going to do a herb garden in my tiny garden.

[@thechaoticbug8203]

Im afraid it wont work. He says shallow rooting and all the herbs ive gotrosemary,cilantro,basil,lavender, ect) are deep rooters

[@drshaynescott]

Great idea. Thanks

[@galaxydreaming]

❤️❤️❤️ this. That’s going on the summer outdoor to do list.

[@TranTheClever]

Super cute!!!! I might do one on both sides of my daughter bedroom window 4:29

[@seeloomis1]

Good plan. When you water the plants, I am assuming the water will drop down on the plants below. Should I worry about the water if I put this planter type on my deck?

[@philippabrown9855]

Stunning!

How can you tell if the wood in the pallet has been treated?

[@stephenbrown4841]

In my part of Eastern Canada the treated palletts are going to be Blue or Red, what you want are the ones that are just bare lumber.

[@TheClaudos]

Look at the abbreviations. You would want to keep a look out for ( HT) for Heat Treated.. These are the ones you want to use for your garden or project as this is safe. Don't use plastic or coloured ones as these are more likely to be used for chemical or may have been fumigated at the ports. Most important, when you see the initials (MB) do not use. This is short for Methyl Bromine. When you see branded ones, more often than not, they cannot be used, as they are strictly used for commercial use and normally re-used by the organisation.

How do you attach the pallet to the house?

[@mitre10nz]

Hi Victoria, depending on the house materials and where your garden pallet is going, be sure to fix it securely in place for safety. Pop in to see the team at your local for some permanent or semi permanent suggestions ^Kane

[@desmondgreen1253]

Good idea just make sure the wood you are using is not treated

[@ing5088]

Desmond green how can I tell if it had been treated?

[@desmondgreen1253]

@@ing5088 treated timber is slightly green or pink or it could have numbers and lettering on it with the type of treatment used on it

This will all depend on where you're wanting to place your garden! ^Cam

[@carloscosta1386]

Do you have to protect the wall against water/damp? Here in Europe, the weather is much wetter than in Australia.

[@TheYoghurt42]

This video is from New Zealand, there is plenty of rain in NZ! I imagine it would depend on the kind of wall you're putting it against. The one they show in this video looks well-sealed anyway. If you were putting it against brick, or wooden siding with peeling paint or something like that, you might want to attach a tarp to the back of the palette to protect the wall.

[@Seth-io1zi]

TheYoghurt42 aye was gonna say he isn’t Australian haha

How do you fix it tto the wall?

[@bubbabitty5438]

Yvette Hess yeh I was thinking the same thing

Ideally with some masonry bolts (M10, 100mm). Mark & drill holes using a 10mm bit then fix to wall with a socket wrench. You could use coach screws or hammer in frame fixing screws but with masonry bolts you don't need to bother about plastic wall plugs, 10mm diameter heads and 100mm length should do the job.

[@yvettehess6248]

Neil Hunter, thanks so much. Would it be different bolts depending on if it's inside or outside?

[@tuvaaq]

It would be, depending on the type of wall inside, it it's a plastered solid brick/concrete wall I'd go with coach screws and nylon wall plugs. If it's not a solid wall things are more complicated as you'll need to find the studs in the wall to secure it with different fixings. I'd probably use a "French Cleat" for a stud wall given the weight of a pallet.

Hi Tulua

[@sarahlestari3492]

does the plants survive?

[@tortron]

Sarah Lestari I made one of these a couple of years ago. Just keep them moist over summer as they dry out quick with so little soil, otherwise they do fine. Have had annual flowers and now switched to succulents this year

[@sarahlestari3492]

ah thank you! :)
