• Place the coconut mat in the opening and staple it securely with a wooden stapler.
• Trim off any excess material on the sides.

• Place the pallet against the wall and check whether it is stable. You may need to raise the front a little (e.g. with a wedge) or tilt it so that the wooden pallet slopes backwards towards the wall.
• Fill the hollows with potting soil and plant the herb plants. Water them.
• You can hang a hanging pot on the side to store garden tools and gloves.
• Label the plants in your pallet herb garden as desired. You could use boards that you screw to the front.
