Pallet Box Recycling

standing upright

So, im just going by a photo I had seen so im sure that , in construction, this attempt will differ from the ones I do in the future. Maybe you have some input from my mistakes...? Start with sourcing a pallet thats new and sturdy.
Step 1: I cut two sheets of chicken wire to fit on the inside of the bottom of the pallet and affixed them using cable-ties either side of the pallets center beam. Pallet designs vary but it is important to affix the chicken wire tightly. from both the top and bottom and the sides. If you are using the pallet horizontally then if the chicken wire is not attached tightly the weight from the 6-8 bags of potting mix will cause it to droop. 

use zipties to hold the wire in place

Step 2: At one end attach a piece of chicken wire (cut to shape) along the entire length of the pallet to hold in the soil. You only have to do this on one side if you are standing it up but if your intention is to make it a lying down garden bed you will need to do this on both ends.

Step 3: Fill the pallet with potting mix (compact well if you want it to stand up), cut away and discard all of the loose chicken wire.

Step 4: Plant your seedlings. N.B. I drenched the soil before I planted to help the soil retain shape.
