• Materials Needed:
    • Disassembled pallet slats
    • Exterior paint or stain
    • 4 corner posts (2x4s)
  • Steps:
    1. Cut pallet slats into uniform lengths.
    2. Paint them a garden-friendly color like forest green or slate gray.
    3. Nail the slats to the corner posts, leaving 1-inch gaps for air.
    4. Add a decorative finial or cap to the corner posts for a finished look.
  • Pro Tip: Use a stencil to label it “COMPOST” for a trendy, organized garden vibe.
