He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himDo you love gardening but don't have the opportunity to unleash your passion? A little bad. Even in the smallest spaces such as a balcony or a small terrace it is possible to grow some healthy and healthy greenery. And what's better than doing it by reusing something no longer useful? A pallet, for example.
The idea is of Fern Richardson, a gardening expert who has created a short step by step guide to guide us in creating our corner of greenery on the balcony. What do you need? The first thing is clearly the pallet in good condition, available among the waste left by supermarkets, without protruding nails and without mold or dirt of various kinds, two bags of dirt, 16 bunches of annual flowers, a small roll of fabric, a staple gun, obviously staples and sand paper. And finally a little precision and good will.
Before proceeding to the actual construction, if necessary it is necessary to do a bit of maintenance of what will become the future home of our plants. Therefore, check if the wooden strips are well fixed, and if so, correct them, sand where necessary with sandpaper and nail the detached boards.
Once these preliminary operations have been carried out, the stapling phase. First, we need to decide which side the fondo, where we are going to put the fabric.
Once we have decided, with our gun, we will cover the part by literally stapling the fabric to the lower part of the pallet, so to speak, the wider one, which we will hang on the balcony wall, taking care to bring the fabric back to the lower part as well. lungo i lati of the pallet. The result will be a kind of pouch that will hold the soil.
Finally, it is necessary to bring the pallet thus stapled to where we are going to hang it or arrange it. At that point it is necessary place it on the part covered by the fabric, filling it with soil first in the lower part and gradually in the upper ones, smoothing and compacting the earth
gently placing the seeds or seedlings on it, making sure that the latter come out neatly from the cracks between the different wood.
Once finished, the plants should completely cover the spaces so that the soil does not fall off. Have you managed to create your own small and subtle balcony garden? Also try the Windowsfarm, using plastic bottles.
