hi english rose
i know that you live near-ish to me, because of your post about the greenwich rents going up
so-  if you want pallets try lewisham market.  they have huge piles of them.  a stall holder told me you can help yourself, except the blue ones.
i ended up meeting the guy who drives around london in his lorry collecting  them - then his company sell them on.  and he delivered 10 for a tenner right to my plot - I could have haggled, and he prob would have done it for less, but I was just glad and can't fit even one in my little car.
I still have his number so if you want it, PM me.

Brilliant!  Sounds very, very useful indeed.  I shall PM you shortly.  Thank you.   :)

If anyone is worried about leaching into soil, just line with plastic to keep side of edging out of contact with soil...simples

Don't whatever you do, use a new spade to dig the plot with afterwards. You never know what residue is left on them after the manufacturing process. ;)
