Build a vegetable bed using free recycled wood to save money. With spring around the corner, we start to focus on the garden and growing vegetables. For this we build a raised vegetable bed from pallet wood. Using pallets that we have reclaimed from various industrial estates and supermarkets, we nailed together a frame and lined the bottom with recycled plastic cement bags. We then dug some top soil from the surrounding forest and put that in the vegetable bed, with the addition of a peat soil layer on top of this. Using some recycled plastic from a mattress cover, we created an apex roof to the wood frame and used some battening to keep the plastic polytunnel cover tight. By creating the polytunel this way, it helps to prevent deer and other mammals and birds from taking the plants or vegetables, and it also keeps a more consistent temperature inside to help plants grow better. The Off-Grid wilderness homestead is developing each time we come, and we are looking forward to growing our own vegetables and learning more about living off the land. As well as growing vegetables, there are also a number of wild plants in the area which we will begin to forage once the warmer spring weather sets in. The garden will also be expanded and we are looking to build more at the cabin. We feel this is a great project for those who cannot afford to, or do not have the space to build a Log Cabin in the woods. By using recycled pallet wood, you can recycle the nails and build a cabin for free. It’s a great way to be money smart and save over the long term. Thanks for joining us on the adventure, stay tuned for the next episode soon – Mike & Graeme
