I made a vertical pallet planter for my nascent strawberries this weekend. 31 sawn-off soda bottles with drainage holes added, nailed to a pallet. Berries are transplanted and NOW I CAN’T PUT THEM THE (*&%$) OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT’S TOO COLD. Waiting for Mother Nature to get in a better mood...
On the plus side, my baby moringa tree is 10 days above ground and about 5 inches tall with wee tiny leaves. When it gets big enough, I’ll see if I like the leaves, because I would love to have another source of dried greens for winter soups and casseroles.
That vertical planter sounds really great. I used to have a lot of those plastic soda bottles too. However, I gave up soda in 2008, so I don’t have that problem any more. Still, I love to see ways that people can repurpose stuff.
