Steps: Clean the wood You wouldn't paint a car without washing it first, so we wash our pallets before applying the waterproofing stain. Apply Thompson's wood cleaner with a garden sprayer. Let sit for 10 minutes. Brush with stiff bristled brush. Rinse Let dry for 48 hours.

Spring is the perfect time to plant your edibles and vegetables! Plan out your garden before you buy anything. Space out your plants accordingly. Too tight roots have no where to grow, too wide and you'll get more weeds. If planting seeds, place seed markers in the ground to identify what and where you've planted. When planting a tree, leave the "collar" (the spot where the root meets the trunk) above ground to breath in oxygen. Know how invasive your trees' roots are before your plant, so to avoid destroying your yard. Be careful about over-watering and drowning your plants. Don't over-seed your soil. Sometimes just a few seeds will do the trick so you're not left with an abundance of edibles.
