Building A 3 Level Vertical Pallets Garden:

Materials Needed:

• Wooden Pallets (standard size)
• Wooden Boards (sourced from pallets for creating level floors and side boundaries)
• Potting Soil or Compost
• Seeds or Seedlings
• Nails (recommended sizes: 2-inch and 3-inch)
• Hammer
• Measuring Tape
• Level
  
  

Equipment Needed:

• Saw (for cutting wooden boards if needed)
  
  

Steps:

1. Prepare the Pallets:

• Clean the pallets to remove any debris or dirt.
• If necessary, cut the pallets to size using a saw.

2. Creating Level Floors and Side Boundaries:

Step 2.1: Measure and Cut Wooden Boards:

• Measure the width and depth of the openings between the slats on each level of the pallet.
• Cut wooden boards from the pallets to match the measured dimensions. These boards will serve as the level floors for each tier.
  
  

Step 2.2: Attach Level Floor Boards:

• Place the cut wooden boards inside the openings on each level of the pallet.
• Align the boards to create a flat surface within each tier.
• Use nails to secure the level floor boards to the pallet structure. Hammer the nails through the boards and into the pallet slats to hold them in place.
  
  

Step 2.3: Create Side Boundaries:

• Measure the height of the openings on each level to determine the height of the side boundaries.
• Cut additional wooden boards from the pallets to match the measured height. These boards will act as side boundaries to hold the soil in place.
  
  

Step 2.4: Attach Side Boundary Boards:

• Position the cut side boundary boards vertically along the sides of each level, enclosing the planting area.
• Use nails to attach the side boundary boards to the pallet structure. Hammer the nails through the boards and into the pallet slats, ensuring a secure attachment.
  
  

Step 2.5: Optional: Reinforce with Corner Braces (Optional):

• To enhance stability, you can add corner braces at the intersections of the level floor and side boundary boards.
• Measure and cut shorter wooden boards from the pallets to fit diagonally across each corner of the pallet.
• Attach these corner braces using nails, driving the nails through the braces and into the level floor and side boundary boards.
  
  

3. Fill with Soil:

• Fill the pallet with potting soil or compost, pressing it down gently to compact it.
  
  

4. Planting:

• Plant seeds or seedlings into the defined planting areas on each tier, following recommended spacing for each crop.
  
  

5. Mounting and Placement (If Applicable):

• Lean the pallet vertically against a sturdy structure such as a fence or wall.
• Ensure the pallet is securely positioned and level.
  
  

6. Watering:

• Water the plants regularly, allowing excess water to drain out.
  
  

7. Maintenance:

• As the plants grow, guide them through the openings to ensure proper growth.
• Monitor soil moisture and adjust watering as needed
