How to make a pallet from a pallet vertical garden?
We have already looked at several useful crafts from pallets, today we will see how you can make a small vertical garden with your own hands from a wooden pallet to decorate a balcony or cottage. 
The first thing to do is to find a pallet that is in good condition, without rotting or protruding nails, and also without an unpleasant odor. You will also need:
- 2 large bags of soil
- about 16 packages of annual flowers
- small roll of landscape fabric
- a stepper
- staples
- sandpaper
Preliminarily put the pallet in order,make sure that all boards are well nailed and do not wobble, there are no nicks or protruding chips. If necessary, sand down to smooth out any uneven surfaces and coat the wooden pallet with a solution that will prevent insects from eating and rotting. Decide which side of the pallet will be the bottom when you lean the finished flower bed against the wall. Next, lay the pallet face down, unroll the landscape fabric in two layers, and staple it to the top and side trims. You need to cover the sides, back and bottom, and leave the top open. Fold the edges of the fabric under the staples. The fabric must be well stretched so as not to sag under the weight of the soil.
The idea is to createunique pockets for planting plants that will peek out between the slats. Therefore, mark in the back with a pencil where to staple the fabric to form the desired pockets and attach. Run the stapler several times along the seam so that the kidney does not spill from one compartment to another.
Now comes the fun part - planting flowers!Carry the pallet as close as possible to where it will be placed and place it face up. The first layer of plants is on the top of the tray. Fill the soil and plant fairly tightly so that there are no very noticeable gaps between the bushes.
Then pour the bag of soil onto the pallet and distribute it evenly among the compartments. Repeat with the second bag. Compact the soil in the pockets, moisten it and start planting flowers.
The result should be tight rowsplants in such a way that there is no place for the soil to spill down when you place the tray vertically. In small spaces between the bushes, compact the soil as much as possible. Now leave the pallet - the flower bed in a horizontal position for a couple of weeks so that the plants are well strengthened by their roots in the ground. Naturally, do not forget to water and, if desired, fertilize with liquid solutions. When the plants are sufficiently rooted, feel free to place the pallet vertically.
