Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

Wow everyone, all of you are just so inspiring to me. I'm also going to work on building a chicken coop for my chickens and I also want to give them a really long and large run. Where the roof is I want to plant a couple of bushes for them to play in. They also smell good too so I believe that they will enjoy those. The coop though that is what's really going to be big. I'm going to try to incorporate the metal greenhouse frame so it will be a hoop coop lean-to. Yes I will post lots of pictures.

If you want to check out my initial build go here:

It starts getting serious about page 9, 10.

...she had all her apple trees hacked down cos she said the apples in the supermarket looked much nicer

I appreciate good looking food. I really do. But as a home gardener, I suspect that the stores toss out a lot of good eating food that does not present well. I wonder how much food like that is wasted? No way would I toss a tomato, pepper, or anything else I grew in my garden because it had a spot or two on it. Heck, I even salvage cucumbers and squash that a rabbit might have taken a nibble on here and there. You would never see that in a store, but I'm OK with eating 99% of the food that is not blemished and cutting out a bad spot as needed.

It’s sold cheaper to the food industry to make soup, sauces and salads.
