Loose pallet wood planks lay out on a suburban lawn next to a pile of screws and a cordless drill. The boards get measured and screwed together into a sturdy rectangular raised bed right on the grass, then black landscape fabric lines the inside walls and bags of dark soil fill the frame to the brim. Tomato seedlings go in first on short wooden stakes, followed by zucchini, rows of lettuce, and trailing nasturtiums along the front edge. The trick nobody mentions with pallet-wood beds: soak the planks before assembly so they don’t wick moisture out of the soil for the first month. Weeks later red tomatoes weigh down the stakes, zucchini sport yellow flowers, lettuce fills in thick, and orange nasturtiums spill over the pale weathered wood. A full vegetable garden built from free reclaimed pallet wood and bags of soil.
