The box I cobbled together from old pallets, dirt is a mix of potting soil and local dirt spiced with chicken poo.

For the more observant viewers, you may notice that the closest 'V' is slimmer than the upper square -- the pallets were a little short. I plan to plant smaller vegetables in those areas.

I'm new to this because this just popped up on my feed. But I've been wanting to get into some gardening and have a handful of pallets...any recommended reads?

Op was referring to the square foot gardening method, you can read more about it and the book here: https://squarefootgardening.org/ There are tons of YouTube videos and blogs writing about it too, if you prefer that over a book
