Paul Wheaton’s new Kickstarter features Helen Atthowe and her ecological approach to the Garden Master Course. Paul is making videos of the course hosted at Wheaton Labs. You can help make this happen and get gobs of permaculture goodies when you pledge here:
I haven’t found a solution for my own row garden that doesn’t require too many inputs. I am hoping that Helen can solve my expensive input (mulch, fertilizer, tractor tillage) issues. Can’t wait to see the edited video. For those who hate to weed, don’t like to bend over, and need to conserve water I love these pallet beds! I compost into them and then after it is full I add potting mix and plant into them. A soaker hose is how I water and it takes 2 minutes a day to take care of. Tell me what you think!

You can do so many things with pallets ! Great idea ! 😘
I built a chicken coop, compost bin, container garden, and use them to stack wood on so the wood is off the ground. I also made a backstop for my son to practice shooting.
Thanks for SHARIN 🌟🌟
It's like a hugelkulture in a box. Fantastic.
Will the kitchen scraps attract wild animals? I am wondering because the compost bin is so near your tiny house.
A great idea! Now my mind is thinking of ways to creatively use pallets … thank you for sharing!
A.B.S. (Always Be Salvaging) lol
Firstly, 🙂 a quick question: what plants have you found do best at the top of a "pile" like this? Secondly, I love this, and I have been creating "raised beds" with this same method for years- at first, simply because I couldn't afford to buy soil to fill my beds. Only after I had been layering small branches, mulch and sources of nitrogen (sometimes just urine) for several years, did I discover Hugelkultur, etc. Necessity is the mother of invention, and poverty can allow you to "discover" things that other inventive humans have been doing for a long time- with great success! But I would love to know what you've had grow most successfully on top of your pile 🙂
That's a great way to use a pallet or pallets 🙂 sorry i don't have any yet.
Yay! I need to do this badly!! Our calf enclosure is pallets!! We plan to build a little "shack" for the kids on the bottom of the property! Yay for pallets!
Great video. Cheers for sharing!!
Hello, new subby here. when would you be able to use it for planting? I know everything needs to break down so will you be using it for Fall planting it next year?
How can you keep rats and mice from moving into the compost and your cabin?
I also want to make compost. I have land for sowing vegetables. I like all your videos. I watch them all, but I do not always write comments.
Great video. Looks like outside is where it's happening! I love the garden too. Thanks for sharing.
Save that small twiggy wood for a rocket mass heater. That is the best and most efficient way to heat and cook.
I built mine exactly the same way. Love the kids, in the olden days story!
I've been thinking about doing something with pallets to build a new bed in the garden. I think I"ll try this. It's how I fill my regular raised beds. This one will just be a bit higher. Or maybe I'll have the husband cut them down to the right height for me.
And there you go, all the dirt you need to know on compost. Sorry, it was there, and I had to use it.
Excellent video! I love the little history lesson at the end from the girls! 🙂 We also use Pallets for Composting, Fencing, and a Gun Rack 🙂
we used pallets for lots of things, burning, compost, tables, chairs, benches. Our last project was the "Shabby Shack" building for a composting toilet and outdoor shower.

I had my compost in a pallet frame like that. I just dismantled it the other day and built my greenhouse right on top of the pile. Time to build another one and try this! Thanks for the idea.
wow, this is awesome! Thank you thank you, thank you for this idea!!!…my husband will NOT let me set up any kind of garden without "his" help, nor a compost, but THIS…this set up could actually get me going because I can do it myself…while he works on the 1000+ to-do-list, hence the reason I won't have help with a garden;]
Love the idea, but we live in a city and there's no room to do this. However, I've found that I can have a verimculture bin to handle the food scraps. The worm compost can then be used in container gardening.
I love the history lesson your girls give you about how pioneers used to carry things!
is human bathroom waist added to this or just kitchen ,grass, twigs ,and animal waist?
Thank you Ryan for sharing such wonderful work of yours in a very affordable cost [Check Details Here⇒>https://www.facebook.com/Shedplans-1906203496273256/app/208195102528120 ]. The quality of the work and the materials far exceeds the price. This is the best offer so far.
Try flipping it over instead of squatting when tying to save your back and your knees, I do it but i’m much older. I also used heavy duty cable ties that were on sale. I made a raised bed box garden with mine. Great ideas and great video. Thank you
pepe amazing plan” ( t.co/G535oDGqtH ), is definitely a comprehensive woodworking book! By making use of this plan, I had been able to utilize words, drawings, real pictures and various diagrams. It`s really an informative product. I`m currently creating furniture along with my sibling and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible
I've built sheds in time past but Ryan's designs are superb [Check Details Here⇒>tinyurl.com/yyexvhoq?preview ]. His work are second to none. I've never seen such before. The sheds are looking very nice and the building plan instructions are so detailed and very well simplified. This is cool!
Watching this for the first time and now I need to build a few . Love it
