    I was watching PBS and saw this path using old pallets, that you can move as you redo your garden from year to year.

    Thank you for this! I have some old cedar slat paths (like this) I bought probably 15-20 years ago and I haven't been smart enough to look at them and think "I could make that for a couple of bucks". The two that I have between my raised garden beds are in pretty sad shape so I need to replace them at some point. I also need an obvious path thru a fairly wet area that I have planted moisture loving plants and covered with pea stone. This looks like a great way to do both on the cheap!

    Like the idea, pallets are free, what else could be sourced to attach them together, that you would not have to buy??? out dated firehouse possibly.
    The firehose would blend in better, the blue is a little loud.

    Reuse the chicken wire from the originals? Polyrope? old garden hose? the plastic lawn edging? Braided nylon stockings made into a rope?

    I assume you were referring to Eric VW with the nylon stockings comment? :)

    Actually no. Didn't think of that. I have a big green tote full of old nylon stockings that need a project to do with them. They would create a rope that wouldn't rot.
