I converted this old pallet into a vertical garden! It is perfect for water conservation in the area as is only needs to be watered from the top once a week or so and the water drips through to all the plants. There is a plywood backing and a plastic layer between that and the plants so it will not rot through or damage your outside wall. Some of the plants are in great condition, others need to be replaced. The front mesh keeps the dirt from falling out, but it is easy to cut a hole to add more plants. This is very heavy! It is 75 inches long, by 52 inches in height and 5 inches deep.
