You can create a pallet garden wall with built-in planters or deconstruct pallets for DIY trellising for vining plants. Some also like to use the pallet as an anchor to attach pot-holding clips and flowerpots for a multi-dimensional design.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do these planters add visual appeal to otherwise drab walls, but they help you maximize your production capacity if you commit to growing vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>There are dozens of instruction guides online to inspire you, but Design Sponge offers one of the simplest designs for getting started if you only want to use one pallet. Looking for something bigger? Follow the instructions from Elizabeth Waddington here at Rural Sprout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Tips for Vertical Gardens:<\/strong> As gorgeous as vertical gardens are, you need to keep in mind that they may require more maintenance to keep your plants alive. <\/p>\n<p>These pots tend to dry out quickly due to more air exposure, so consider installing a drip irrigation system before planting. Another option is committing to a species that can survive with inconsistent watering, such as succulents.<\/p>\n<p>You should also use a potting mix with a high moisture-holding capacity.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-pallet-bench\">8. <strong>Pallet Bench<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1000'%20height='666'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20666'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"A wood bench made of reclaimed pallets\n\" class=\"wp-image-9169 perfmatters-lazy\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pallets-bench-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Give yourself space to recover from an afternoon of garden work by crafting a pallet bench.
