Landscaping on a Budget – How to Turn a Pallet into a Garden

April 4, 2012 | By Rich | |

The 70 and 80-degree weather we’ve enjoyed in Michigan recently (in March) got me thinking about affordable landscaping projects we can do in our back yard, which is quite small.  And that’s actually good because our landscaping budget is quite small as well!

My jaw dropped when my friend Crystal at The Thrifty Mama recently shared a brilliant idea she discovered from Life on the Balcony on how to turn a pallet into a garden.

I absolutely love this idea and want to try it alongside one section of wooden fence in our back yard.

I’m really interested to see if we can grow some herbs and vegetables in a pallet too – and not just flowers. I have no idea what vegetables might work in the amount of soil that is available here in a pallet.

What do you think?  Have you ever grown a pallet garden before?  Or do you think you’d like to try this or another affordable landscaping project this year? Please share your comments!

Money Wisdom from the Bible

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share." - 1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NIV) Click for more of the Bible and Money...
