I decided it was time to do something interesting on the wall above the commode
And here’s what I came up with...
A Living Wall with succulents
We had a couple of pallets laying around so we tore one of them apart and used the wood from that
It’s pretty rough but I wanted it a little rustic
I had ordered some ceramic half-moon planters and I decided I liked the look of those on the pallet wood
We laid them out to figure out the finished size I was going to need which was 20 by 34
Then we cut all the pieces 34 inches long
Next we nailed them together on the back with a 2 1/2 inch piece of wood from the pallet
We made sure all the ends were even by using a straight edge and then we nailed them with about a quarter inch gap between them
Then we did the same on the other end
Then we sanded the whole thing just to knock some of the really rough spots down
Next we added wood aging accelerator to the raw edges so they would blend in with the rest of the aged wood
Then the whole thing got 2 coats of polyurethane
After we laid out the ceramic planters, we marked where each screw hole would be located
Since pallet wood splits pretty easily, we pre-drilled the spot where each screw was going to go
Then we numbered each planter based on where it’s located on the pallet because each planter has a slightly different hole configuration
Then we put in the screws
We screwed it to the wall making sure we went into the studs
Once the planters were all planted, we just hung each one on the screws in the order we noted on them
And here is the finished living wall
That we made in a few hours
Out of old wood we had laying around!

Ok, I hesitate to post this project because it was SO easy. Like so, so, so, so easy. I feel like I’m sharing a dirty little secret or something.

This is a BIG and expensive project! We have several retaining walls on our property that need to be redone. The photo below shows just one of the walls that is falling down (we are looking at the lower wall, light green wood).
Retaining walls are important safety and soil conservation features in unstable sites. While some areas may require a professional or even an engineer to ensure sturdiness, less pitched and potentially dangerous areas will benefit from DIY retaining walls. You can build a retaining wall with many objects, often using ones that are found in the landscape such as rocks. Building a retaining wall on a slope should start with an assessment of landslide potential, steepness of the angle, and necessary height of the wall to contain soil. Walls in flat locations require less planning and are easier to construct safely.
Fast-growing vines are a great way to add greenery and privacy to your outdoor space. Whether you’re looking to cover a fence or a wall, there are plenty of options to choose from.
