Greg grew most of his family’s food for the year in his backyard garden, building raised beds out of pallets and old shingles! See his garden layout plus some beautiful garden photos for ideas and inspiration.
Greg Morse from Bagley, Minnesota, created a large, 35x35-foot backyard garden using traditional rows and raised beds made out of pallets. His garden also included mobile pallet planters, drip irrigation, row covers, and a hoop house. As you can see from the photos Greg submitted, it’s been a very productive garden! He’d be happy to hear from other northern gardeners.
Greg’s Vegetable Plot Plan
The raised beds were made out of shingle pallets cut in half, 20 inches in height. The rows and square-foot gardening were incorporated together, with lots of plasticulture used to extend the short northern growing season.
