Growing at Home for RVFB with Pallets

Michael Pollan says that one of the biggest environmental impacts you can make is to grow just a small portion of your own food at home. Being passionate about fair food access and decreasing food waste, I was inspired by the idea of using up-cycled pallets to grow veggies in your yard. In our urban communities people often don’t have the space or good soil quality to grow veggies in their yard. Pallet gardens are an indigenous solution! RVFB always has an abundance of free pallets, too.

Since I am only growing for two people at home, I can donate a couple of rows to my food bank – bonus! I planted this lettuce using Lettuce Link seeds and growing guide about a month ago. These puppies will be ready for the picking in a couple weeks – sun willing!

Drop by RVFB any Tues-Sat, 7am-2:30pm and grab a pallet.
