Pallet Garden is Vertical!


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..
