When you say “rotten wood” do you mean any sort of wood no longer connected to the tree and thus able to decompose, or specifically wood already in the process of rotting?

Both could work really good. However, You could even use freshly cut wood but it will just take longer to decompose 🙂

I've watched dozens of videos about raised beds for my new garden, and nobody has mentioned pallet collars before. I didn't even know they existed. Absolute GAME-CHANGER! Thank you!

Haha Kevin is great 🤣

I found gold when I bumped into your channel. Thanks a million for all the tips, I'm now looking forward to have raised flower beds. 🌼🏵🦋🐝🐞

thank you!!! i only have paved space to make my garden and no one has shown how to use pallet collars on concrete. this is so helpful

Thank you so much for this amazing idea for using Pallet Collars! I collected some yesterday and plan to start our raised bed journey this spring! 🖤✨🌱

I think your information is just great. From making a usable raised bed all the way to looking after a garden,collecting the bounty,to using everything you grow and having to use all of that product with no waste, using all of it with great taste. How many hundreds of potatoes I've peeled and thrown out those skins 🤔 thinking they were unusable! Throwing out the tops of carrots not even thinking about composting them or turning them into a pesto. THANKYOU Spicy Statch for opening my 👀 it's never too late even at 71. I'm sitting here muching on some crispy 🥔 potato skins.

love you. even though i don’t have a small backyard bc my home is in the suburb, my family turned the whole thing into a concrete floor 😭 no more grass or dirt ground … so i was always concerned about starting raised beds since i never see others put them on solid ground. thanks so much for inspiring me to build one myself!

We use the same repurposed foldable shipping crates here in the US and hugulkultur method too! So good

Love these longer vlogs...very informative.... distracted by cats and wiggly worms... love pets in the garden....

This is so good!! I'm about to start making some raised beds in an urban garden with no soil and have been spending the last few days researching the best/cheapest ways to do this. I was getting frustrated with other KZread videos where they don't get to the point. Yours is so simple and easy to follow and the idea of the pallet collar is a really good one. Thank you :)

Thank you. Excellent information!

I work in a factory that goes through alot of pallet collars. They just throw them away. I've been wondering if they'd be good for a raised bed, and now i know! The ones we use are for smaller sized pallets, and come with lids. If I reinforce them a little bit, i may be able to build a raised bed that I can cart around with a hand truck. It would be cool way to bring herbs to the farmers market!

Nice vid, wouldnt use perlite for aeration, perlite tends to float upwards in your potting mix. You should try Rice hulls or pumice.👍🤙

Great info, thank you. I have recently purchased 2 pallet frames at ebay and am planning to create two raised beds cc with them, using cardboard on a lawn. Did you stack up two of them for one bed, because you work on a stoney ground? Or would you recommend stacking 2 frames to build one raised bed on a lawn too?

Is a good choise to use carton boxes instead foil if you have a garden with ground. Carton boxes will prevent gras to grow for a some time, the gras will rot, will come earthworms , and the soil under will great.

If you have soil underneath, it’s good! If you have concrete like in this case, cardboard is not good and this is why I used plastic sheet.

This is very helpful! Can I ask which paint you used to paint the wood? And do you have to regularly repaint them?

Bravo, Alessandro! This is one of my favourites yet. A twofold question for you, do you think LeRoy Merlin her in Italy would have the pallet collars? It feels like I've only ever seen pallets wrapped in heavy plastic. And how do you say pallet collar in Italian?

@SpicyMoustache

Thank you so much =) I'm not absolutely sure about Leroy Merlin but I'm pretty sure they will stock somewhere, especially because every company use it for transport and if you ask them, they might give it away for free. in italian it's called "Spalliere di palette" =)

Unfortunately can't find those palette collars in my area, but at least epic gardening showed me this channel

Just get pallets and disassemble them and build it with the 2x4/

Genius

I love your videos! I just built a raised bed out of cedarwood but at the bottom layer I was able to find decomposing logs in the forest to use as a first layer. Is this okay? The very bottom layer of my bed is made of cardboard to try and prevent weeds

❤

Italian God perfect

What about tree bark? Could you use that at the bottom of the bed?

They are expensive from b and q! Can you please recommend alternative options in the uk

Hey mate, I’m looking to build raised bed in my nearly ready greenhouse, but unfortunately there is concrete floor and I can’t get rid off them, do I need this plastic sheet for metal beds? do I need to put first layer off gravel for better drainage? Or just straight with wood and soil with compost? I just don’t know about the drainage how it’s better Thanks

Great video, thanks so much! Question, you say that in the first year the soil level will decrease and I should add more layers of compost and mulch twice a year. Does this mean that I should wait to plant anything in the first year? Or do you just add it around the plants?

@SpicyMoustache

Thank you very much! Apologies if this was confusing. Basically, you can use it straight away but just keep in mind that the soil level will decrease in the first year. You can add compost around the base of the plants :)
