Neat and tidy and keeps the weeds down perhaps.

It does look interesting. All your plants are in a straight line too. Are you going to lift it off when they get bigger so you can harvest them or (as they look like brassicas) just cut the heads off?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

That looks great! I used my pallet to make a bench instead. :)

There is a farm not far from us and last summer they planted several pallets with ivy and summer bedding and once established stood them up to make a "living fence", I have to say it looked very effective. Wish I,d had my camera.

That is great. I hope you sanded it well, you don't want splinters. :)

I used a pallet for making a raised bed/trough for carrots. Fill up with fresh compost each year which has no stones. Lovely long carrots and can be raised high enough to not get carrot fly!

And yes, I know, I didn't thin out the carrots!

 :D I saw this last week, I was browsing through some google images, another idea I saw using pallets was the chap had cut the bottom off and cut part the top off so there was two slots, he did this on a few, laid them out in a row and planted his carrots in the two gaps.
