Method
In other tutorials I looked at they simply stapled weed mat to the inside of the plallet. I wasn't sure about this, I'm not convinced the weight of soil won't just rip the weed mat over time. The cat will definatley reach up and tear hole in it.
Just to be Safe I decided to nail planks of wood to the bottom of each section. The wood came from a second pallet that was falling to pieces.
Some planks need to be cut to size. I did this with a jig saw.
I've gone with strawberies but herbs and flowers like petunias work too. I think anything that has shallow roots, or doesn't require too much water/moisture.
