This is my first instructable,

I designed these (well not really designed), more cobbled together, when i was looking for uses for the off cuts of pallets that i didn't reuse for the climbing frame ive made. 

So yeah it took like 30 mins per one. cost about 50p. 


Tools and Ting.

Tools:
I used a mitre saw because im lazy and crap at sawing wood straight.
16mm spade bit to make a drainage hole.
screwdriver.
Table saw
belt sander (again, because im lazy)

Materials 
End of a pallet 
piece of wood which can serve as a base
some screws.

Construction.

Its fairly self explanatory. I sanded down all the surfaces with a 40 grit sanding belt.

cut two pieces of wood the size of the holes. They aren't perfectly straight but it doesnt really matter.

Drilled two holes in each one after i screwed them in place.

 

Wang a Bit of Varnish on It.

just something to postpone the rotting process, which is inevitable but at least it looks ok and fits onto a window.

fill with soil and seeds.

BANG
