What you’ll need

Select a suitable pallet and lay it flat on the ground.

Measure and cut wood for three side edges of the pallet – both long sides and one short side, so one side of the pallet remains open.

Fix the wood to the two long sides of the pallet and to one of the short sides with wood screws.

Sand down any rough edges along the top and sides of the pallet.

Cut the weed membrane to size, covering the of the bottom of the pallet, and fix with staples or nails.

Cut a piece of 9mm plywood backing to the size of the pallet. Fix over the weed membrane with screws.

Paint the pallet your chosen colour.

Flip back over and begin to fill with soil and your chosen herbs or plants.

Tip: you can use paint or a paint pen to label each herb on the top of the pallet.
