Build a garden bed from packing pallets

Australian Post Posted by Angus Kidman at 10:16 AM on July 1, 2008

The Home Green Home blog demonstrates how you can build a garden bed from old packing pallets -- and all this in a space barely 4 metres by 4 metres. In our recent discussion about how big Australian houses need to be, one reader argued that a big backyard was essential for growing vegetables. This video shows that compact living is not necessarily incompatible with a green thumb and a copious supply of salad.

Is treated wood safe to use for gardens? Could the chemicals leach out of the wood and into the soil?
