Re Milly,

That use for pallets, assuming you can get the ones with the blocks - like the blue ones -
which I would remove and use as shown. Nice straight rows , keeps the weeds down , is so simple and would be good for carrots, beetroot, onions? which web site was it on?
we also rescue rabbits and guinea pigs, grow own veg

My son-in-law works at a builders Merchants in Bexleyheath, Kent, and he was saying that they can't get rid of their pallets, so if anyone here has an allotment in or near, Peppers are in

A friend works at an egg farm and their pallets are as good as picket fences, they only use them once them throw them away, pity the hens have a **** life :(

Just been offered a 8 by 6 greenhouse FREE! I suspect though that there is no staging. Anyone got any plans for building staging out of pallets ? I know where to get lots of pallets so thats no problem.

New washing machine's arrived, been plumbed in (by Eils) and with the amount of noise from the kitchen, the fire pit's about ready for the garden and the first thing to be burned in it will be old broken pallets :D

Just a quick tip palleteers,drill the nailheads out with a 5mm bit first, ,stops the wood splitting so much so you get more usable timber.

Personally, I'm getting my allotment next week, and I'll be going to the local builder's centre to ask for pallets that they don't want. I've done it in the past, and they always seem grateful for someone to take them off their hands.

I was a volunteer at a local nature reserve, and we needed about twenty pallets. The local Jewson's branch gave us some for free, and even offered to deliver them when they were passing!
I may be Welsh, but I love ewe anyway!

just been to the local garden centre and asked about the pallets they had outside, they will sell them to us at £1.00 each. Is that a good price?

Hi, if you have a local company (or one that's not too far away) that sells pallets if you ring them and ask about scrap pallets they usually give them away for free :)
