Our thoughts turn to gardening, seed catalogs, we look longingly at nurseries as we pass by--that is, if you've got the gardening bug.

People who have small decks, patios or balconies often feel left out but not anymore! Check out this guide to using pallets as a vertical garden. I can't see any reason that vegetables won't work in this, things like lettuce or even strawberries. You could have a vegetable/fruit/flower mix. And pallets are pretty much free, aren't they? :)


ETA: Pallets are often treated with chemicals so to grow food one should make a pallet out of untreated wood.
