My friend, Maka Boeve, has a lovely home, but not much room for a vegetable garden. With the help of some neighbor kids who want to grow vegetables to donate to a local food shelf, she created tiered gardens out of wooden pallets and some stairs.
If you want to try this project, you'll need a pallet, garden mesh, a staple gun, staples, potting soil and plants.
"Growing food is wonderful way for me to help get my family excited about eating vegetables," says Maka. "Without a lot of room, I'm able to grow herbs, lettuce, broccoli, peppers, cabbage, zucchini and tomatoes by using pallets."
A study from the University or Texas shows that kids who are involved in growing and learning how to cook vegetables at school may eat more of them. So I am an advocate of getting young friends and your families interested in growing produce. And pallets are a way to fit gardens into small spaces.
