Hey, LariAnn,
Long time no hear from! Glad to see you again!
Please post a pic of your plastic pallets score!
I started making the pallets out of culled lumber for several reasons. First, I was practicing my basic carpentry skills. Second, necessity. Third, the FREE to real, real, real cheap lumber was right in my garden budget. Finally, I liked the cedar that matched my fence, and all the raised beds I have built out of the same fence pickets!
Hugs!
