Lin - Thank you! I actually saw a photo of a single pallet vertical garden with castor wheels on the bottom so it could be rolled around on the patio for privacy from neighbors or for the best sun or shade exposure for whatever plants were growing in it. If you do make one, please share a photo of it when it is completed! It initially took some work, but it was well worth it now that I have all these fresh herbs I can snip!

Greene - Thanks for the compliments on my herb garden .... and the hand tool mailbox! It was fresh pine wood. I think they were built for one time use. I put two coats of paint on everything, too. And then I made the tarp bags which prevented the potting soil from even touching the sides of the wooden plant boxes. I don't want the plant boxes to rot from damp dirt against them. So any part of the leaves touching the wood is touching double-coated painted wood. We sanded the wood a little and I put two thick coats of paint on everything just to be safe!

Here is a comment link to what the vertical herb garden looks like today:
