I haven't had a vegie/herb garden for a long time. I just missed having having fresh herbs and vegies.
had some pallet timber that were in my shed, I got these from a pallet manufacturer, in my area about two to three years ago, they were very fresh and wet, then, now they have completely dried out and good to use for my project.
