What I've had in mind for some time is using some old pallets to 'fence' off a sitting area in our fruit tree area and with the industrious use of some spare weed fabric that has been hung inside the pallets like buckets planting lots of alpine strawberries that create a living wall type of thing.
Our plans were halted some time ago after our first pallet collection because we decided to paint the wood green and it took some doing...pallets really soak the stuff up which not only causes a greater expense than intended but is really, really time consuming and very boring.
But today we decided to plough on so in about two hours we bashed a raggedy rectangle of pallets then decided to add an entrance archway for a bit of snobbery. The result is an absolute eyesore which looks so horrific that we are likely to finish painting it just so we are happy having visitors again.
Still the romantic in me can see the potential for it once it has been painted and planted...we'll see.
