Herb Garden
Herb GardenAfter 3 days of hard work, we have finished our herb garden with a culinary herb spiral in the centre. Fingers crossed it's chicken proof.

Re: Herb Garden I'm very impressed. I do like your sunny gates and I love the herb spiral ... you've given me a great idea for something similar thank you ... I'm going to have a ponder
Re: Herb GardenThe gates are from Wilk insons and are plant trellis that I hinged on 2 pieces of apple wood.

Re: Herb GardenI realy like that.
Great idea using the trellis as gates. [center]Relax, I could have been a twin.[/center]
Re: Herb GardenThat is a lovely herb garden, it looks a very relaxing place to sit.
Re: Herb GardenThat herb garden's great, a lot of bricks have become available on the lotty, so I might steal an idea or two!

Re: Herb GardenThe only plant the chickens managed to nibble before I put up the netting over the trellis was the pennyroyal. In the crescent shaped border is a mixture of wild flowers and herbs.
The 4 willow planters are going to have veg planted in them. The only outstanding thing to do is to sort out the electricity supply to the water feature. I realy enjoyed designing and building this. And the herb spiral didn't take as long to build as I thought it would. There is a layer of chicken compost at the base. (might as well use what the girls provide). I then filled the spiral with barley straw. In that way I didn't have to use much compost when planting up. Finished off with a top dressing of ornamental bark. The only problem is that I keep seeing lost of lovley plants to buy to add to the herb patch. my blog

Re: Herb GardenWow i really like it! Well done!!
Re: Herb GardenWhat a good idea to make a herb spiral. It takes up little room and when everything is fully established will look really great. Well done

Re: Herb GardenI really like that - must look out for some of that trellis - great idea to use it like that - and the brick spiral is really clever too - got loads of odd bricks in the garden might try that myself.
