My neighbour found an old pallet for me and lugged it home, kindly depositing it in my driveway. I sowed seeds and waited eagerly for little seedlings to poke through the crumbly earth...and once they did I danced with glee then stomped about in a temper when I found my naughty bok flock had eaten the whole thing.
So we tried again. And a few weeks later...TA DAH !!!!

Tips:
* Staple shadecloth/weedcloth to the sides to stop soil falling out
* Let the soil settle before planting as it keeps compacting
* Drape netting over your pallet to stop your badass chooks rampaging through the whole lot
What have I planted:
* A row of beans!
* Rows of lettuce
* A row of flowers
* An overarching tee pee of more beans
I've also planted climbing beans in a teepee over it ! Yeah !
I hope Spring has finally sprung properly. It's been freezing in Melbourne so far.
Ru watching the chooks who are milling about at the back
i love my pallet!!
