Hello Tanya Lovely Greens , Im a time traveller from the year 2023. I have just been watching you building a garden pond at your lovely new home . It is fantastic . The reason i travelled back in time is to you tell you, Your smile is as bright cheerful and pretty today in 2023 as it was here in 2015.😃.
I made a strawberry planter from pallets. My pallets were smaller than yours so I used two pallets for one planter. It turned out a little different from yours but the same concept. Thanks for sharing your work. Happy Gardening 🌱
I have been keeping aside a bunch of pallets for projects just like this, from the waste that is produced on my parent’s property, as they are renovating their house. Arrived at the site the other day and the construction workers had chucked them all onto a big pile of other rubbish and set fire to it!! Back to square one! My pallets and compost bin projects are going to take a while!
I know this is an older video, but you inspired me to create a planter and it was so easy just as you said! I plan to make several more to compliment my vegetable garden and new greenhouse.
Thank you. I've had my planter for a year and as you indicated the 2nd year harvest is much better. It's relatively maintenance free, I made sure that I had some decent soil, some straw and watered when needed. My wife was also able to make a hanging planter for my son with some of the "creeper" strawberries. Thanks again!
Just watched this as I was wondering what to do with my remaining pallets. Brilliantly done and really clear instructions. Although my pallets weren't the same I managed to adapt it and now have a fantastic solid planter. Many thanks!
As far as building up the inside of the planter, I will be making a mini wicker bed.First black builders plastic up to the top of all sides( I usually staple to hold in place) , then some small pebbles or course sand on the bottom, covered with a layer of shade cloth or fly screen wire. In one corner you place a piece of PVC pipe so it is sitting on the rock layer ( this is what you water through). Then as you said: compost/horse manure/organic fertilizer, and I always put some slow release fertilizer to help the new plants get well established. It is easy to cut a small hole in the black plastic, on the side, to put the roots of the plants through, as you said, as you are filling the planter with the soil mixture. Probably would not worry about the straw. Great presentation. Good camera angles and written instructions as well.Thanks
I have found my weekend project! Two pallets sitting in the backyard right now. Can't wait to start building! Thanks for a clear and simple tutorial!!!
Excellent use of a pallet and I love that you only need one pallet per planter. I use pallets a lot for my woodworking. I will definitely be make some of these this year for my strawberries. Thank you for the idea and the tutorial.
Made two of these today with Pallets scrounged from a local builder, took 1.5 hours to make both and will make a perfect addition to our allotment. Thank you.
You had a very good opening sequence. In the first minute I believed you have credibility. Calm, methodical, presenter is very easy on the eyes & ears. Never seen this " cut into 3 pieces" method, but looks pretty good. No waste & only small amount of additional material required! I'll start scouting for pallets. In our area white oak pallets sometimes come in & this wood is more rot resistant than pine or spruce...or other softer woods lacking tannins
I really think I can do this. It's a great idea, and looks very professional. I was going to use a strawberry planter this summer, but I like this idea much more. Thank You for the video!
Very clever, fairly straightforward, and I have some pallets out by the barn. And I really enjoy strawberries, too. So I'll make up one or two. Good idea.
Your video was a random popup but perfect. When my Son was little we would grow Strawberries, now I have a GrandDaughter and your "Pallet Planter" will be a wonderful intro the world of plants and planting. Your information on Heat Treated vs Chem Treated is so important. Good to see your a cat person.. Thanks.
I love the planter. I will be making one. As a help to you, I had been having trouble with screwing in my screw with a regular Philips head so I started using a T20 and T25 star heads. Once you see them and start using them you will never go back.
Great idea. Thanks Some pallets are very hard to take apart because of the ring-shank nails that were driven in by an air-gun. The boards will split before the nails will come out. I suggest using a flat pry-bar or crowbar instead of a hammer for pulling off the short slats. A skill (circular) power saw would be easier and faster cutting than a jig saw. Instead of putting the feet flush with the outside, move them in enough to clear the 4x4 post. Then you can drive screws through the 3/4 inch thick bottom boards into the feet The feet may split if you screw them in at an angle. How about lining the bottom and sides with garden (landscape) cloth to hold the dirt? You will need to cut slots in the side cloth for planting the strawberry plants. Other than that, I plan to make one as I have very little space for strawberry plants. I believe that pallets are made of hard woods like oak. I'm a bit leery about painting the boards as chemicals may leech into the soil. Same with wood preservative. Oak will last longer than pine. It will last maybe for 5 years or so.
Thanks so much for this video. Last summer I got pallets from my work and made 3 of these! I have strawberries in 2 of them and I'm actually using the third for my son's outside toys right now because ran out of dirt lol! But this summer I'll be filling it with another variety of strawberries!
Hi ya, This is a FANTASTIC video tutorial on making a strawberry planter! By far the simplest and most elegant best looking one I've seen maintaining the integrity of the pallet(assuming it's a solid one) and just adding some extra screws where needed! So simple but effective and BRILLIANTLY done! It looks great! I'm going to build a couple of these this week! As I have quite a few pallets and I'm going to make a range of planters and raised beds for the garden(aswell as a potting bench and even a small workshop using pallets! Lol) .. so this is ideal! BEST design I've seen!! Cheers from London England 👍❤️😎🏴
Great cost effective idea. I've adapted this to aquaponic using two of these with pond liners. Gold Fish down bottom water pumped to the top then a bell siphon to drain it back down. So now instead of big ugly white tanks there are rows of sleek grow boxes ;).. thanks for sharing the concept you rock.
I love the pallet strawberry planter, mine are in the ground now, but I would love to get them up off the ground. Two years of pill bugs eating them is enough. Thanks, I'm going to check out my pallets to see if any are as good as the one you had. Take care and God bless, Kim
+The Abled Gardener You'll find that having them in a large planter like this makes growing strawberries super easy! I'm making a new video that will be out in two weeks on how to plant the planter up as well.
I love it. I have tried the strawberry planter in a whole pallet and had all the problems you mentioned. This looks much better. I guess attaching the feet to the bottom before you attach the bottom to the sides might be easier but then again the screws on the inside would be in direct contact with the soil and might corrode more quickly.
Great video, just in case it's not been mentioned already, attaching the feet at the stage you cut down the centre pieces (5 minutes into the video) would have made it easier. Well done, this gets a like from me.
Tania thanks for your wonderful video is very creative and shows how to use thinks that normally goes to the dump. Just a suggestion to make it easier just cut the nails with a sawzall with a metal cutting blade and it will go very fast and save you from trying to take those pieces apart. Thanks again and G-d bless you
Thanks. Great idea. Last season I used hanging planters filled and layered with coco liners, newborn baby diapers (kept plants moist in hottest summer heat), and fertilized soil I got for free from a local legal grower [no association with his profession aside from love growing vegetables]. Strawberries tasted great and produced over and over after picking but produced too few. Your idea looks better. So I can grow even more berries I'll do as you show but buy a pocket hole jig for attaching the feet a little easier. Those blocks are solid. Maybe also add heavy duty swivel caster wheels because that looks like it could weigh a couple hundred pounds with wet soil. Just guessing. Thanks for the thorough walk through. Subscribed.
Thanks alot for the video. Have just done it and it looks great. I found it easier if I put the legs on the bottom slats before attaching the sides. The legs go just in from the other blocks but makes it a bit easier! Thanks again for the video
That is brilliant ...that's it I am making one just need to find a pallet with 9 slats...looks fantastic you are such a creative person...thank you for sharing with us and your little cat is adorable...I would also have liked to see how you organise the planting but I think I can work it out...Be Safe
So well done. One of my favorites. Explained in detail, easy to follow. I also noticed the pathway in the background, with a split rail fence following. Looked like a park like setting. Beautiful...
wish I had found your channel before I messed up my pallet that was exactly what I wanted to achieve what you have done. I have to find myself another one. good job!
It would also work for cucumbers, peas and beans with corner posts and a few ladder-rungs as a trellis. My pallet stack is earmarked for a tool shed, but I can get more. A sawsall would make fast work of this. Wood cutting and a metal cutting blade. Cut the nails rather than pulling the short slats. I’ve been doing this awhile. No need for prying, chiseling, etc.
Would have liked if you showed doing the chicken wire and the planting. Otherwise very nice job very well done tutorial. Thank you for the HT information as well
Thank you for sharing it's a beautiful idea and will try it for sure but think I'd screw legs before putting 3 pieces together so u can screw it from a top.
very good video, A great idea. Considering retiring and making things from pallets. I've come a long way, I used to make clay pots. At least I am staying with natural materials
Nice project! I'm going to follow this. One suggestion for attaching the legs... You can attach the legs before you assemble the planter. That way you can screw it in from the other side quite easily.
What a lovely idea, now I have a great idea for a planter. When my husband brings home some of these pallets I can snitch a couple to craft into a few of these nifty planters! 🌻
Yeah, I figured one per... but I'm going to make more than one planter. Hehe Right now he has crafted only 1 longish planter out of that fake wood that people use for decks/patios.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much. Now I know how to tackle my next pallet project. My first one was a disaster. I pulled apart every single piece. Lots of damaged slates from tearing away from the nails. Feel so stupid now. Definitely a whole lot wiser after watching this video. Thank you once again.
Philip Wong you can use a nail punch and hammer to loosen the nails' connection with the wood, then lever them apart with the hammer and a piece of wood (for the anvil). Sometimes you don't need an anvil, depending on how far out of the wood the nail has come. ☺️ I usually hit the nail about two or three times with the hammer.
Adding the feet to the bottom of the planter before assembling the container might be easier? Cause the you could simply screw in a large timber screw from the inside, then flip it over to attach it to the bottom of the container. Seems like a great method! I spent the day taking apart pallets and cutting dozens of the right sized planks for the raised beds we are building and it's an absolute pain. Will definitely give this technique a go next time!
Brilliant! I've been wanting to grow asparagus, but need to plant it in a raised bed with lighter soil than I have on my property. I think this may be a wonderful planter for that, and perhaps I can add some Thymus serpyllum to the sides.
Wonderful idea!! If people don't have your mad fabrication skills (with the diagonal screw attachment), they can affix the feet on the bottom piece of the box, before assembling the sides:) thanks for the video.
Thanks! I did think of that but with the weight of the planter planted up they’d probably snap off if moved around. The bottom plank is quite thin. A long drill bit could help attach it from inside though.

Oh! I Forgot to mention. I also came back tp get tips on making this awesome strawberry planter...😃.
I have watched a ton of planter boxes made from pallets. Yours is by far the best looking and easiest I have seen so far. Thank you.

I just made my husband drag 10 pallets from the local store. Soo many ideas. This is definitely one of them.
Thank you. I've had my planter for a year and as you indicated the 2nd year harvest is much better.

The plastic is a good idea! I'd love to see photos of your planter.

I'm adding a couple of these beautiful planters to the outside of a hoop house I'm making ! They'll make my hoop house more attractive!

Thank you! You just restored my faith that I can make some planters with my pallets I've been collecting!! My husband thinks I'm crazy!! lol
Nice project! I also find pre-drilling the holes for the screws helps to reduce wood splitting when the screws are installed.
I really think I can do this. It's a great idea, and looks very professional. I was going to use a strawberry planter this summer, but I like this idea much more. Thank You for the video!
amazing, it is wondeful use for the old pallets, besides, it is the better way to have your own organic strawberry .
great job.
well done !!! most informative video and well spoken !! love to see a woman handle her tools better than most men in other videos
+Tina Cazee I wish more women would jump on the powertool bandwagon! Some tools are less scary than others and the creative possibilities are endless.
Your voice is so calm and sweet. This video was great and informative. Thank you 💗🌸✨

+LarryParamedic1 You're so welcome! I glad I popped up and into your family's adventures in growing :)
It seems surprisingly simple yet looks great!
Thank you for sharing your experience. 😊. Have a wonderful day. I'm from OHIO, USA. 🙋
Just stumbled upon your channel and I love it. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I'm going to give it a shot.
Love how your kitty joined in the fun!!
Not only a good project for planting, but listen to the doves' in the background!!
I love the planter. I will be making one. As a help to you, I had been having trouble with screwing in my screw with a regular Philips head so I started using a T20 and T25 star heads. Once you see them and start using them you will never go back.
Great looking planter will complete the rest of my veg garden --THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT--AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

hello. I've built this planter and must say look very nice after the build.. thank you for sharing my wife loved it william
Thanks a Lot. That is exactly what I was looking for. No extra expences for plastic bags like in other videos! Great job👍🤩!!
Thanks so much for this video. Last summer I got pallets from my work and made 3 of these! I have strawberries in 2 of them and I'm actually using the third for my son's outside toys right now because ran out of dirt lol! But this summer I'll be filling it with another variety of strawberries!

+Lovely Greens - Handmade Living, Gardening, Lifestyle, and Tutorials That'll be great, as long as I can get them up off the ground. Thanks!
Brilliant, love it. Will use this idea to make a raised garden around out house. Thank you!
Easy to make ,low coast and beautiful look thanks for sharing .
I love it. I have tried the strawberry planter in a whole pallet and had all the problems you mentioned. This looks much better. I guess attaching the feet to the bottom before you attach the bottom to the sides might be easier but then again the screws on the inside would be in direct contact with the soil and might corrode more quickly.
Nice job and very clear with the
Instructions. Cats always seem to make a habit of wanting to be in the middle of the action!!
Nosy little parkers they are 😹

That was brilliant I am definitely going to try that
Thats the best idea on slats, im making them! Thank you Lovely Greens!
Enjoy your future planter!
Great video. Instructions are so simple and clear! Thank you.
Great idea! And it's recycling what would always go to the dump.
Smart chick.
Lovely Greens good morning , beautiful your garden organic
LOVE this..going to try this and paint it white! I will probably use planting fabric to keep in the dirt. So excited. Thanks!
Thanks. Great idea. Last season I used hanging planters filled and layered with coco liners, newborn baby diapers (kept plants moist in hottest summer heat), and fertilized soil I got for free from a local legal grower [no association with his profession aside from love growing vegetables].

This looks like a great idea for making a table as well
I made one yay. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
So well done. One of my favorites. Explained in detail, easy to follow. I also noticed the pathway in the background, with a split rail fence following. Looked like a park like setting. Beautiful...
Very inventive. Thank you for sharing. It's a great idea.
Looks fairly easy. Very cost effective. I will be giving it a try. Thanks!
wish I had found your channel before I messed up my pallet that was exactly what I wanted to achieve what you have done. I have to find myself another one. good job!
Thank you from Italy. My wife and I will make it for our garden...!!!
Fantastic! If you have any building questions feel free to drop by again.

There was a link to the video where she plants in it.
Im going to go out and build some. This is way to cool to ignore. Thank you for this wonderful idea!
+Deborah Elliott Awesome! Happy building
Thank you for sharing it's a beautiful idea and will try it for sure but think I'd screw legs before putting 3 pieces together so u can screw it from a top.
Wonderful job on planter
very good video, A great idea. Considering retiring and making things from pallets. I've come a long way, I used to make clay pots. At least I am staying with natural materials
Вы такая замечательная!You are great!И кошка чудесная!мне очень понравилось!I liked it!
Nice job. What a lovely, brilliant young lady.
I love this idea. Pallets are my favorite things to work with. Thank you! Going to pick up a few on my way home from work today!!
great idea and job Tanya
You and your cat did a great job!
That looks amazing, really enjoyed the video. Great job Tanya
Thank you!
Nice project! I'm going to follow this. One suggestion for attaching the legs... You can attach the legs before you assemble the planter. That way you can screw it in from the other side quite easily.
Great idea!
Excellent point
Excellent Project and very nicely presented.. Thank You so much!
I'm pleased to share it! :)
What a lovely idea, now I have a great idea for a planter. When my husband brings home some of these pallets I can snitch a couple to craft into a few of these nifty planters! 🌻
+Sansa Stark You only need one pallet per planter so that's an economical 'snitch' :)
Yeah, I figured one per... but I'm going to make more than one planter. Hehe Right now he has crafted only 1 longish planter out of that fake wood that people use for decks/patios.

Thank you Cindy, Love the blog.
Lovely Greens..... and smiles.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much. Now I know how to tackle my next pallet project. My first one was a disaster. I pulled apart every single piece. Lots of damaged slates from tearing away from the nails. Feel so stupid now. Definitely a whole lot wiser after watching this video. Thank you once again.
Philip Wong you can use a nail punch and hammer to loosen the nails' connection with the wood, then lever them apart with the hammer and a piece of wood (for the anvil). Sometimes you don't need an anvil, depending on how far out of the wood the nail has come. ☺️
I usually hit the nail about two or three times with the hammer.

great idea and easy to follow video. Thank you
Very nice, great idea, very practical and useful.
Thank you Reinaldo Antonio :)
Absolutely wonderful idea. I will be making several. Thanks
This is so neat, just the right size for a small household. Thank you.
I will be starting some projects this summer...great video...can't wait to get started...
excillent
great idea! I gave up growing strawberries since they spread so much. this would help contain them.
Absolutely!
I love her accent, and yes I'm going to make this.
Love the birds in the back ground, , reminds me of Hawaii, love the project
+Lavonda Carter My neighbourhood is a bird haven! I'm so used to the sound now :)
Fantastic idea and presentation. Found my mentor. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this beautiful design
Good job Tanya, simple, works for me. Thanks
what a great use for something that just gets left sitting in a pile not knowing what to do with them. u could sell these too I'm sure.
Adding the feet to the bottom of the planter before assembling the container might be easier? Cause the you could simply screw in a large timber screw from the inside, then flip it over to attach it to the bottom of the container. Seems like a great method! I spent the day taking apart pallets and cutting dozens of the right sized planks for the raised beds we are building and it's an absolute pain. Will definitely give this technique a go next time!
I loved the cat helping you.
haha I was going to say it :)
Nice! Looks good. I just made a raised bed out of a old wine rack,i should have done something more like this
Brilliant! I've been wanting to grow asparagus, but need to plant it in a raised bed with lighter soil than I have on my property. I think this may be a wonderful planter for that, and perhaps I can add some Thymus serpyllum to the sides.
Asparagus roots will probably need a bit more space over time. I probably wouldn’t try it myself but who knows, it might work :)
Wonderful idea!! If people don't have your mad fabrication skills (with the diagonal screw attachment), they can affix the feet on the bottom piece of the box, before assembling the sides:) thanks for the video.
Thanks! I did think of that but with the weight of the planter planted up they’d probably snap off if moved around. The bottom plank is quite thin. A long drill bit could help attach it from inside though.
More DIY like that please, that's great !
Thanks Oliver! More DIY projects planned :)
easy to build my wife and I made one of these this week
Brilliant!
@@Lovelygreens 1 year later still have it and recently replanted
Beautiful! The planter isn't bad too! Just found your blog loving your content. Please can you do some more on your poly tunnel 🙏
The idea is pretty nice
So cute! Really liked it a lot!
I love this I’m going to try and make one
This is an excellent idea. Would love to try for this summer.
