Sunday afternoon project. So for a few seasons now I kept seeing people make herb gardens using pallets. I loved the idea. It appears to save space, inexpensive, and I just love the look. We have done quite a bit of work to our house over the past year and every now and again our contractor will leave me a pallet, well, today was the perfect day to put one of those pallets to use! First I cleaned the pallet with white vinegar, bleach, and water. I let it dry. Then I spray painted it with "Green Apple." The spray paint has a primer and sealer all in one.
I picked up a roll of black garden mesh and cut long strips. Using my staple gun, I made pockets for the plant/herb to go. As you can see in the picture above I was able to get six good sized "planters."
I trimmed the excess mesh. I filled in the pockets with some dirt and began planting my herbs!
This is me planting the Rosemary....Please ignore the lack of paint on the back...kinda ran out...oh well it is the back...
Viola! Almost finished product. I am going to pick up a few different herbs tomorrow to finish off the bottom two planters. I just love it! Also it is not that heavy and easy to move so if I realize they need more or less sun I can move Pally Planter around! I think I am going to either find cute herb labels or just use the boys chalk to label the herbs....Stay tuned to find out how the herbs grow!
