Today's Project Diary Video I will be showing you how to build a free Raised Bed from recycled Pallet Wood for your Garden or Allotment.
When starting your first Allotment or garden it can seem very overwhelming especially if it's your first time growing. The best way to tackle things is to break each step down into smaller pieces and get a rough idea of what your goals are before starting any project.
When making raised garden beds it may be a good idea to take the Square Foot Garden approach which is basically your entire growing area broken down into 12 inch or 1 foot squares. This way it's easy to work out how many crops you can plant in each square. Most Square Foot garden beds are 3 or 4 squares deep. This is so you are able to reach into the centre of the bed from any side without compressing or leaning on the soil. Tight compressed soil will prevent any of the plants smaller root systems developing and may hinder the health of your crops.
Before using Pallet Wood for any project please see my Pallet Wood Safety Guide post on my page @Projectdiaries Some wood may be treated with harmful chemicals that could leach into your soil and plants.

ENJOY!!
Check out the video link below.
Once you have learnt these simple Skills you can build a Raised Bed any size or shape you like.
Is there anything you would recommend for treating the timber when using pallet wood?
I personally don't treat them as the safer wood has been heat treated. It all depends on what you're using them for. Pallet wood lasts for more than 5 years if it's of good quality in the first place and it's a free source so it can be easily replaced
Just followed and upvoted. Nice page mate.
Thank you! I'm glad you like my Posts :)
Good to see you here on steemit. Welcome!
Been following you for a while on YouTube and saw your recent video about having one of your videos flagged. Did that get sorted? Is that what encouraged you to start on steemit?
My computer has finally dies so I haven't been able to check my flagged videos for a few days. Indeed! A few subscribers suggested many other sites but this was the only one that seems very interesting. I'm already so glad I joined up. If you were one of the people who suggested it. Thank YOU!! :)
