It's been about two weeks since I planted my Pallet Garden so I thought I would see if I could raise it on my own. When I lifted it up a bit I noticed that the soil did not bulge out of the back so I thought that the roots must have grown enough to hold the soil. I put on my gardening gloves and set to work. That thing is heavy! I was able to get it vertical and very little soil came out, just a few crumbs. Then I had to slowly inch it to the wall. I think it looks great! I ended up tying it to the railing and a hinge in the door just in case the wind picked up. I'm thinking I'll need stronger rope though because I just used gardening twine that I bought at the dollar store. Now I just need to figure out what I want on top. I think some kind of greenery would be nice, but Nathan things flowers would look better. Decisions..
