I have worked in warehousing. I would never do this unless it was a brand new and untreated pallet. Most pallets at some point get all sorts of nasty chemicals spilled on them. Pallets are reused hundreds of times and you never know what has been on them
Thank You
You are so correct, I have seen people get crappy pallets and use for fire to cook food over the flames.
They risk their health and lives using pallets.
Was going to say this, don't use this for plants you plan to consume. Only use this for decorative plants. Sadly pallets aren't the most aesthetic look.
My mom would have loved that. She liked making stuff like that. Unfortunately she passed away last week but I may make this for her anyways.
So sorry for your loss
May GOD bless and keep you safe 😊
I turned scrap pallets into a Tesla model Y. Pretty simple if ya know what you're doing
I've been making these for years and selling them, and you need to line the bottom of the wood other wise it will rott. Also spray with wood spray paint to make the wood water proof so that they don't Rott.. its the same with out door furniture. Also alot of pallets have been sat out in the rain etc so make sure any pallets you do get put them somewhere warm like inside to dry the wood out.... The wood spray paint you will get at B&Ms if in the US you have that store or any hardware store I'm Scottish. But please take heed as you don't want your hard wood work ruined in the first 3 months.... sorry for spelling mistakes. I make thinks, don't write alot. 🤣🤣 xx

Thanks bc I have never treated my wood with anything. I'm definitely an amateur I repurpose pallets for fun I try things out by trial and error more error than anything but I have learned a lot I was a cosmetologist for years n never been into this type of stuff, but I'm enjoying it. Thanks for the tip. Little tidbits help more than people realize.
*rot.
@ianjames2023 Thank you. Its automatic correct on my phone.
Only one thing i'd suggest, If that unit will be outdoors in the weather, you should use Titebond 2 or 3 on every joint, As that pallet wood starts to absorb moisture the brads will let loose, Or 1 1/4 deck screws will stand the outside. Great idea for sure.
A note from someone who has worked in the industrial setting her entire career...if you're going to use pallets for growing food plants, PLEASE be sure the pallets are not contaminated with spilled chemicals! If the wood is stained, rotted or strangely discolored, skip it! 💕
Good to know, thanks.
And sanding them as well could be hazardous.
Rkr
Thank You, I, never considered that 🤦🏽♂️
I never knew that; thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to see that pallets are not going to waste..I knew someone who used some to make a fence around his front yard. It looked good.
Pallets don't go to waste. 95% of them are actually recycled into mulch.
good idea. But eventually the wood will rot because of the soil and water. Rather line them or treat the areas whete you are planting. love from South Africa ❤🇿🇦🇿🇦
It doesn't take that long to rot either . Unless you're using cedar or teak but that wouldn't be a pallet lol. Thanks 👍🏼
I've heard of test tube "Herb" babies but didn't know that you could grow them from dirt.😁
Maybe I got it backwards, and the test tubes are for "Erbs."😉
To the dude, why are you talking like you're Bob Ross? 😅😂
Black?, he sound like Ross he even used happy on sentences may rest in pease.

Thank you so much Home Talk, I really really enjoyed watching these projects and I really really love ❤❤❤❤the herb garden and the potting station. Brilliant ideas
People have been doing this before you were born 😂
They make good sheds too.
Love the potting bench, thanku so much
I don't think I've ever seen a pallet that good looking before. Makes me wonder...
Exactly!! The majority aren’t worth up-cycling. Great idea in theory but not practical for most.
Very creative
Industry is generally really good at reusing pallets hundreds of times until they're in far worse condition than this. I was working in a department store that was dealing with dozens of pallets a day when pallet crafting first got popular, and they never looked this nice... And we still chained them up to avoid letting them be stolen instead of reused.
I was going to say something along the same lines. I’ve built pallets my whole life, my family has owned a pallet business since 1982 and I was gonna point of that unless you can find a very soft wood most likely pine pallet that the boards will but come off that easy.
@@anthonydemauri4095Having soil and moisture right against those untreated boards isn't going to turn out nicely after a year. They should have at least said to use plastic inserts instead of dumping the soil right inside.
I love how videos like these show people dismantling pallets so easy with a hammer. Certainly pallets in the UK they are held so strong you need to cut them apart!
I work in recycling pallets we dump so much wood 4/4 3/4 plywood and 100.of pallets to the crusher
Lots of places to get good pallets, you just have to know who to ask, or where to find them. Some people make money on them, picking them up from places that have them and you are allowed to take them, then you also have to know where you take them to get paid for them!!! I know this only because I do know people who do this for extra money!!!! And it's all legal!!!
Problem being Sage Rosemary, Thyme etc need a lot more room than the space allocated for them, my Rosemary is over 3ft tall. Pallets have been used for home DIY for years yes!
Yes, your herbs can grow that big but there are a few issues with that:
1) not everyone has the space to let their herbs go crazy
2) unkept herbs can look like weeds if you don't tend to it and
3) you might be giving your herbs too much nitrogen.
If you have even a small planter, you can grow a satisfactory amount of herbs if you let it bush out. Also, for any and all edible plants, fertilize with anything that has the highest number last (i.e. lots of Potassium, like 315)
My darling husband made wall hanging strawberry beds from pallets and they served very well for about eighteen months and then they fell apart. Any pallet timber used for outdoor use must be treated in some way for it to last!
It's ok I get my pallets from Chernobyl in Russia!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤯

2:01 The Bob Ross of DIY pallet projects 🎨
This wood isn't treated, so it will quickly get water damage. The soil will retain water too, but you didn't use any kind of liner to protect the wood. And because it will swell and warp, those nails will soon pull out.
An improvement would be to use an outdoor stain or paint on the wood, get pots that fit in or get liner and drill holes in the wood and liner for water drainage. And use screws.
Agreed. Over a year it would be toast
Also he used a Brad nailer to frame it, which I agree was a terrible idea. That's more for trim, baseboard, etc etc. That's mostly used in the finishing stages to hide nail heads. He should have used a screw set with high sheer strength or pneumatic nails.
Please do your homework
Pallets are either heat-treated (heated to a high temperature in kilns to seal the wood) or treated with methyl bromide - a toxic pesticide that has been linked to human health problems and ozone layer depletion.
I have seen many people using pallets for gardening and seating benches and tables.
You should see what the union jack waving knuckle draggers in northern Ireland do with them at this time of year 🥱
Ty all you Webster dictionaries on proper pronunciation of herb enough already it’s funny how you comment about the people who open themselves to teach and share with others and get comments about how much time they have on their hands blah blah look in the mirror at yourself and stop projecting your insecurities to those who appreciate people who share their ideas and gifts wit us. I would love to see more videos and I think they are great videos. Great job ignore the haters please!!!
AMEN 🙏.....🙋
I used pallets for few years in my garden closed to my home and got eaten by termites and my building just cost me hundreds to get the pest control done.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
BORNS THEM! OR NEVER KEEPING THWM NEAR YOUR BUILDING¡¡¡
Maybe your building had termites???
Great idea. Just an FYI the "H" in HERBS is SILENT.
American, eh? 😂
@sixfou well she does live in AMERICA😂
So is the word "genius" in the title
Love this! ❤️
Everyone is not copying that this summer.
Exactly. YT. Is promoting Lieing... Advocating the Bloody Murder of TRUTH. & There are Thousands of examples. Oooooh yeah. Federal Judges Love being LIED TO... To their face. Should I add the Vast quantities of lives you ruin? Every day. Because you don't like the way they Vote ? (( Incredibly Illegal )) BACK OFF. Endless $$$ & Millions of Beyond Upset people who WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Safety first: ensure the pallet isn't made with chemically treated timber as this leaches into the soil and into you if you're growing edible plants. Look for a stamp on the pallet indicating if it's safe or not. (Google the stamps). Otherwise, enjoy your upcycled pallet.

Wow, great DIY's.
Love from our farm in Africa Morocco 🇲🇦
Yeah not a new idea by far lol but glad u figured it out👍
Most pallets are made from hardwood and very difficult to nail into with a hammer. We had to bust up used pallets at work, and eventually, we used a saw to cut them up to avoid the nails/staples used in their manufacturing. I also agree they are often saturated with toxic chemicals. That's 40+ years of experience.
The vast majority of pallets are made from softwood. Pine, etc.
The two places I worked over 30yrs. had both hardwood and pine pallets. The hardwoods had a deposit and were sent back. The pine pallets were disposable and we gave them away.
Worked in the packaging industry for 26 years. Pool pallets, which are made of hardwood, represent probably about 20% of the total freight moved. Hardwood is expensive for pallets and retrieving them, especially internationally isn't always practical.
@@billgreen2426 I worked for a beer distributor. A lot of the domestic breweries used hardwood and it had to be sent back. International brewers like the English and Australian brewers used pine for the long trips on ships overseas like you said.
I worked for a company that needed long skids. Partnof my job was making them out of 2 pallets joined together. It was impossible to hammer it a 10 penny nail. It would bend over. Had to drill holes for nails and wore out burned drill bits. HICKORY, Ash trees.
It looks like it works, cool idea !
And i love your calm and soothing voice. You would be an incredible asset to major events with large crowds in attendance. If something bad happened at a big event, your voice on the mic could keep everyone calm and safe. Just sayin'... Great video btw
If you find any pallets around my area ,they are always torn up and pretty much useless.
Companies around here use them until they are splinters .
🤔
Nice.
Have you heard of paint brushes? Also good for writing on wood.
Brutal.
The first one, the herb garden. We did this 3 years ago on the first lockdown. I fixed 2 pieces of wood to the bottom to lift it 2 feet off the ground and take the weight, and it just needed 2 small brackets at the top to hold it against the wall. We then planted it with herbs and salad leaves.
Wow! That is awesome!
Thanks for the ideas
Some pallets are chemical treated, and most nails are spiraled and definitely don't come out that easy...
Awsome idea ❤
Excellent!!
Lovely!
Looks like a skid with weeds growing from it. Nice job!😂
Beautiful ❤
I want to make a green house. I'm wondering if t could use pallets to make a frame? Any ideas?
I think by attaching the pallets side by side and on top of each other ..
( secured properly on all corners and the middle...)
I feel that it could be a very sound structure.
I love this!
Congratulations....aidea is apsolutly amazing
Literally nobody's copying this. They're stacking 3 pallets and calling her good
Wonderful❤
Very good style of teaching 😊
Perfect u did a great job
I am part of everyone and I assure you, I am not copying. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Scroll on then Karen! Why reply at all then? Just being bitchy I guess! 😅
I think ppl are leaving Smart Ass comments bc of the title….ppl be nice…
And then the wood roots feom the constant watering.
Great idea.
Love that potting table! I need that, and thanks
Happy o
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Been done a million times. And I’ve done quite a few ‘projects’ with pallets and I can’t remember any of them coming apart that easily, most are put together with wire nails, a real pain to get out.
Wire as in pneumatic?
They dont - the nails are designed not to come out easily - if they did they would be useless as a transport medium. The wood splits before the nails give. So make sure you have plenty of pallets for the plant wall 😅
@@johnmason139 I use a cats paw to remove the nails, might still split a little because they are heat treated usually. But I've removed many pallet board easily, some not so much lol. Some will ruin but that's to be expected I suppose.
You can get real cheap pallets where I live almost home made style that aren't as well built, I've seen them around. I actually have a stack a pallets out back now I'm going to build wood storage for my cut wood. 🙂👍
I would not waste my time with that but it’s good fire wood for a bomb fire .
@@stevearkie-hy4oe
Bomb fire?
Do you mean bonfire? Or is it something different?
I've never heard of a bomb fire...they sound rather dangerous!!
All of the designs are a great design to plant vegetables.
beautiful 😊
All of this stuff. I bought from dollar tree... yeah except the 20$ crates from michaels lol
I once took furniture and turned it into a pallet.
HAHAHAHA...LOL..😜
The guy in the 2md clip with the crates...tell me thats not rob shneider doing his best Bob Ross impression
Wow!😍
Carrying on like you invented the wheel or something truly amazing!
Like the ideas, and you don't have to invent the wheel to have a good idea 👍
Wonderful instructions , nothing like carpentry skills 🖐🏾
One of the easiest skills to learn other than landscaping.... 😂😂😂That's why videos like this should get off my recommendations, I did carpentry 4 5 yearsAnd they teach nothing but the basics With a click bait title saying everyone's doing it other than just them in the copy or on RUclips that copies their video For the same thing they want money... They don't care about the community or they wouldn't have that bogus click bait title
The look’s very nice I have a pallet and I’m going to make some thing out of it
How cute!!!!!!! The first herb garden is awesome!!
You had me up to "herbs" when you voiced the hard "h" sound.
Kia Ora from New Zealand I seen a young maori couple making the pilet garden in 2013 grate to see others
That first pallet herb garden could easily be scaled up to accommodate an entire side of a deck or patio and made into a veggie garden. Perfect for those living in a large city without access to property for a small veggie garden.
These pallets are usually pressure sprayed with preservatives don't use them for growing food. If you must then line each trough with a heavy duty plastic
If using pallets for food, please only use heat treated pallets. They are the only ones you can safely use. All others are treated with BAD chemicals.
My younger brother done this 30 year's ago but well done you 👍👍
I would have put a plastic liner on the inside with drain holes before adding soil, most Pallets are treated for insects, mold etc .. esp in Australia with CCA treatments ..
Since when did gardening not require labor (if you're not putting some real work into a garden, you're lucky or someone else is doing it. 😅) It's an awesome idea and naturally you have to make it work for you. I love the garden pallet idea ❤.
Well, some people don't have much or any actual ground property to plant a small veggie or herb garden. There are places called Metropolitan cities and homes often have a 6'X4' outdoor deck a few hundred feet in the air. The first example, with some easy tweaks, can build a vertical garden for people without property or that live in apartments. Additionally, they aren't actually making veggie gardens. The first is herbs and the next is an outdoor, garage repotting table. They aren't growing carrots and lettuces in those repurposed pallets.
Fascinating, how do you keep it from rotting out over the first one or two years?
That title thou.... Everyone !. The globe !. Dammmmm
Been doing this sort of thing for about 20 years and making profits.
Just an FYI You need to be careful regarding the type of wood you use if you are growing edibles. Most wood used in pallets are loaded with chemicals.
treated with methyl bromide - a toxic pesticide that has been linked to human health issues. But would be ok for flowers
Pallets are usually made of knotty pine and are untreated
Most are heat treated and anything other will be stamped or should be. But yes that's a good tip
As long as nobody starts licking them I'm sure it'll be fine
@@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov
Growing edible plants in containers that could leach harmful chemicals, isn't safe.
You don't have to " lick" the wood in order to ingest the chemicals.
Methyl bromide dissipates within 48 hours of treatment. It's used in shipping containers if an untreated pallet is in there ,then stamped to say so. It's harmless
Lol. We've been doing this since the 70's.
Coming to a Facebook marketplace near you for a comical $300. 😂😂😂
We've built tiny houses...camp cabins...out of mostly pallets. Done right, they should last for decades
Can you do a DIY PALLET Tv Stand and a room dividers you can then cover them inself adhesive decorative vinyl so it looks exspensive please would love to see a diy off those thanks
What about termites?
Don't use the pallet if you see termites or termite damage!!!👍
Good ol Herb
Cool
😂I really like this
I would paint the potting shelf because it will rot away if you leave it out in the weather. Great idea but whats the use of putting all that hard work into it if your going to let it rot away.
Great reply!! Others have mentioned the "rot" problem.. but I like the addition of "why do all that work" to let it rot!!!! Absolutely!💯
One problem wood and water do not mix. Especially when you have sod that holds moisture sitting against the boards. We get very little rain here but yet the bottom of our fence boards are decaying and they are off the ground slightly and made for weather. Pallets are not and I'm not saying this is a bad idea. I'm saying a lot more needs to be done and I think you know this but trying to make it look quick and easier than it is. If not you'll find out soon enough.
"Now we are starting our DIY wood pallette project by buying 4 pre-built crates..." 😂
Going to rote out quick like that
The wood will rot because of wet soil. It would be better to use planters or maybe staple some plastic on the inside or something.
Definitely. It will rot and fall apart by next Summer.
Nothing lasts forever.
The stencil is longer and more complicated to do than the whole pallet building 🤔
A black sharpie would have been just as good and a lot easier.
Since she put soil directly into/against the wood, those boards are going to rot within 12-18 months, if that long. She needed to use inexpensive plastic pots instead of putting the soil directly against the wood.
@@pauljohnlongua4093😊😊😊😊
Don’t pick holes in a great idea! Why be negative? You don’t have to do it that way if it’s too difficult for you … just use a Sharpie or find someone with nice handwriting to do it for you 😊 Try thinking positively first time & always - please don’t criticise a good idea, that’s being shared free of charge, just to be helpful … think about ways it could be done to make your life easier or share it with someone else who might value the idea! 👍🏻😘
@@B_Bodziakif you use plastic you’re using a material that’s never going to rot down, it will end up in microscopic pieces in our oceans … why do you need to pick holes in someone else’s good idea? … plus it’s highly unlikely that wood will rot down in that time … worst case you have to build another one in several years’ time, so you repeat the same virtually free-of-charge project! 🤷🏻♀️
People have been using pallets/ skids like this for years .... Not just this summer 🤔
There's many things that have been around for years, but if you haven't seen them...then you have learned something and you have a new chance to get creative on your own!!!👍

Life is but a dream... And in it I have all the tools needed to make it happen wamp wamp
How what is the make and model of the tool you used to cut the pallets I heard some kind of saw
I've seen lots of good pallets at the dump if you get there before they doze them under. Lol
The “h” in herbs is silent. Next, that’s a lot of work for a herb garden since you can just put them in pots.
The "h" is only silent on the USA not in the UK ( and I believe they started the language.
✅
@@trevorbest-gn2dqWell considering she has an American or possibly Canadian English accent Id expect her to say the word Herb with a silent H. This isn't the UK. People that do pronounce the H are grammatically incorrect here in the US
Also the English borrowed the word from the French and in French the H is silent. Go even further and it was borrowed from Latin where again it was silent. However to match spelling the English decided to add the H pronunciation of the word. Therefore the American English way of saying the word is more correct than the British pronunciation.
The way she pronounced herbs was so annoying.
What about drainage holes for the plants? The plants will rot without drainage
Water can go out through the seams of the pallet unfortunately this is also the thing that will make that herb garden rot
@@timothypadilla8910 I grow herbs and without drainage holes they will rot .
Reciprocating saw technique- keep the shoe in contact with the material. Could get a bit out of control of you don’t…
