My first herb spiral

| I've been reading Gaia's Garden during the last few weeks. It's an interesting read. I'm not sure how much I can use all the information. I certainly don't see myself building swales or having much of a wildlife zone in my ~50x75 foot back yard but I'll give some things a try. I'm starting with a herb spiral. Though I might plant some other things besides herbs maybe some annual or perennial flowers, greens or small vegetables.
Not sure if I used rocks that were big enough but I guess it's a good first start. Worse case scenario I could use the rocks elsewhere and spread the planter's mix around and rebuild as it really didn't take much time once I had the supplies ready to go.

| It looks pretty good! I was thinking of making one, but I guess it will have to be next year. I'm so indecisive about where I want to put it. Out the back (kitchen) door is recommended, but that's the shady side of the house. It would be great if you posted a link to what it looks like next year. Sue |
