Planning fifth entry

STARTING WITH THE STRUCTURE

During this week, we have decided how we will put the pallets and the boxes in the garden and how we will keep the plants inside of the pallets and the boxes.

How are we going to put the pallets and the boxes?

The pallets will hook to the wall through a small hook and these pallets also, will be leaning to the outside in order to increase the security. The boxes will be put in a row on the floor, in this way it will be easier to access them.

What can we use to keep the plants inside of the pallets and boxes?    

We can´t plant the plants directly on the pallets or the boxes because the soil can leave through the holes and there is a higher probability of to find more insects. For this reason, we have decided to buy a geotextile mesh between the base of the pallet and the box and the soil. On the one hand with this mesh, we will make small bags which will put inside of the different sections of each pallet for the different plants. On the other hand, we will cut bigger pieces of the same mesh for the boxes.  

    

Each pallet and box have different measurements, so we had to measure all of them taking into account the width, length and depth. After to get all the measurement we have decided to buy a geotextile mesh roll with 20 m x 1.05 m for all the garden. 

During these days, we have cut the mesh and we are starting to make the bags for the pallets.

We will tell you how it went the next week!
