This is perhaps the most inexpensive raised bed you can build! Wooden pallets are seen as either a fire hazard or industrial waste so you can very easily get your hands on a few for free. By splitting the pallet effectively and saving the nails, you will have all you need to build a surprisingly sturdy and nice looking raised bed. Plus depending on the size of the pallet you can look at a raised bed around 1ft high and 4x4ft. Which will be able to grow you a very nice amount of food!

At the price of wood now we need to do that
I like watching you recycle
I think you could build a nice house out of pallets
I am moving and putting in a garden against advice of others they think I will have trouble keeping what I grow from others. I want to make beds like these and plant extras for a kind of front yard free tomatoes etc. knowing how to build out of pallets will really help!!
Thank you, I am interested to make my first bed
Good day Huw, how can I acquire your first book about gardening. So interesting to see you in the garden planting vegetables and making raised bed. I am your fan and l really want to have a copy of your book. The problem is I am residing in the Philippines.
pardon me, but do u have any grey poupon?
I don't have the fancy pallet dissembler, just crowbars, claw-hammer and tongs and pulling apart pallets is my least favourite part. I resorted to cutting the nails with a reciprocating saw and it works faster, with fewer split boards, but there is an extra step of removing nail heads. New nails are fairly cheap, but for straightening old ones, the cubes from pallets are good, just put the nail on top and hold it and rotate it, while hitting it with a hammer.
At hardware stores, there are parts for joining things at a 90-degree angle (two 10cm flat rectangles with holes, joined at a 90 degree angle, don't know what they're called). They're cheap and they're a viable alternative to using cubes to hold the sides together. These can be reused when the wood rots.
My bottleneck for raised beds has always been long reclaimed boards (I want 3.5-4m long ones), but this modular approach can work too and when making rows of these, 1.2m is a good width. It should generally be better to make rows South-North, rather than East-West, because both sides of the longer raised bed will get similar amounts of sun that way.

Super idea
This video is so wholesome, my heart is so full. Green things growing, salvaging wood, careful workmanship, frugality, a beautiful world
perfect video!
Yess! I have so much of these in my yard piled up and wanted a box garden for so long!
If you painted them would they last longer??
God bless you sir thank you very much
Great video as always.Many thanks for your valuable time and attention.Your channel does makes a big difference in Natural organic farming and life style.
If you don't care about leave parts of the nails in the boards, you can use a reciprocating saw to cut through the nails between the boards. Use a good metal cutting blade. Use safety glasses/goggles. Just remember the nails in the boards when using another saw when cutting them to length.
The nails add iron to the soil. Because pallet nails are next to useless after their first use, they are good for slowly breaking down in the soil. Plants need iron to commit to many functions from seed to harvest.
Putting on a coat of lindseed oil on each section will add more years to the life of it too. Great video!
Amazing
Great video! I'm definitely trying this, thanks a lot!
why didn't you using a claw hammer at the start to disassemble the pallet instead of using a flat jemmy as a hammer
This is a brilliant idea of using recycled pallets unto a more sustainable living; we've been gardening for years and it's incredibly therapeutic for us all! Kudos to your success, Richards! ~John El Hanafi
