Pallet upcycle

Pallets can be used for some cool stuff!

With all the recent rains we have avoided trying to plant seedlings for fear they would simply float away, however, we have been doing some work to make sure our garden sees future success. Today Caleb and I built a box to make a raised bed out of an old pallet. Work at the bike shop sees pallets coming loaded full of bicycles, and usually strangers pick up these pallets and profit off of them... I figured, why should they benefit off of our loss? So I brought a couple home.

This box will be one of 3 or 4 that will be raised enough to keep the  flood waters at bay.

The oval to the right will be our "peace garden", the box is on the left.  We also recently staked in those bamboo borders to designate the walkways inner border.
