The Saint and I purchased some stones (via pallet) some time ago. I have had the pallet hanging around in my GEORGIA GARDENS just waiting for me to create something out of it. Landscaping fabric, scissors and staple gun to the rescue.
I stapled the landscaping fabric securely to the bottom of the pallet. Then cut off the excess fabric.
Now I have a planter ready for fresh composted dirt.
I found wooden spoons at the Thrift store for a mere one dollar. I painted them with my outside paints.
Two thick coats of paint and once dry, we are ready for the next step.
Turning the spoons into Garden Tags!
Seeds have been sprinkled and tags put into place. I even added Cat Nip for my neighbors outside kitties. Hope they enjoy a nibble.
And now I await the growth of Herbs in my RECYCLED HERB PLANTER, In the Garden...

Awesome job! I've seen these kinds of planters used a lot more often lately. Way cool! Let us know how they do. I hope the cats take to the catnip.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea, Skeeter! I have "pinned" all kinds of pallet recycling ideas to my Pinterest board, but then I forget about them:) I've wanted a separate herb garden for a long time and using a pallet seems so much simpler than digging up another area of the lawn. My friend planted a pallet with annuals a couple of years ago, painting it and propping it upright along her fence. It was a lot of work, but the end result was worth it. Love the spoon marker idea!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of wooden spoon plant labels. I have a few pallets here. Need to get busy and make a compost bin.
