Thanks for watching, Yes you could but it would require building the ‘walls’ higher but I didn’t want a permanent structure and even at this lowers level it still works really well. 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience on how to build a spiral herb garden. I'll be building mine in just a few weeks. Have to mention: I don't know about your region, but here (Phoenix, AZ) lemon verbena grows into almost a shrub and lemon grass grows HUGE. So I wouldn't put them in the bed with the rest of the herbs, not in our region. But it's probably different in your area.
So glad you liked the video! We live in central France so the lemongrass won’t survive the winter - but a good heads up for people who live in warmer climes! Thanks!
This video was wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I have a couple of questions. Have you ever considered a frog pond at the bottom? I see that commonly on other herb spiral designs. Also, I've come across the idea of a worm tower. That's a form of vermi composting. You have a tower with small holes towards the bottom for the worms and a large hole at the top for food scraps. The worms decompose the compost and carry it out into your garden. Do you think that would work with an herb spiral? Lastly, what are your thoughts on covering the soil with natural mulch from and tree removal company (not died mulch)?
Yes a little pond could work, however we have another pond so wanted to keep our spiral for just edible plants. a worm tower is also a really good idea, along with adding natural mulch around the plants as that really help suppress the weeds around the edible plants. Thanks for watching
Thanks! I liked the idea that sun-loving herbs would create shade for shade lovers and the herbs that liked dry conditions could be at the top etc. It's also good to have some herbs in among the veggies too like you have done (we have basil near our tomatoes, nasturtiums near the kale etc.), as it helps keep little beasties from damaging the veggies before harvest time!

Why are herb spirals usually so short in height? Wouldn't a tall one be more effective?

The herb spiral is beautiful. Hope to see how it grew. 👌
It’s doing well thanks, I will try and incorporate it in a video soon for you to see!

That’s so cool! I’ve stuck my herbs all over the garden, in between the other veggies this year. But this is beautiful!

Brilliant!!!
Adding lettuce seedlings was a great tip
Glad you found it useful! I have eaten all those lettuces now and planted more :)
Ok, but how did you make it? (Building stones) Just the substance is missing...
Where’s the actual building instructions?
