Pallet collar raised bed - cross section3D Model
Raised garden bed, with a standard Euro Pallet (120cm x 80cm) and two pallet collars.
HOW TO BUILD A RAISED BED
-
Pallet. Use only pallets with good quality, and made of solid tree (some pallets have parts made of chipboard).
-
Pallet collars. Paint with linseed oil to improve the shelf life.
-
Lining. Protects collars (wood) from moisture, keeps the soil in the box and holds the whole construction together. Use strong plastic or pond liner. Remember drain holes!
-
Drainage layer. May be omitted, but remember to make sure that drain holes will not get blocked!
-
Soil. Use gardening soil (not potting soil or peat moss). Mix possibly with compost, and sand if it’s clayey.
Happy urban gardening!
