If you wanted to know how to grow food in a limited space, you came and helped us with construction of a herb spiral. Permaculture design maximises the natural force of gravity, allowing water to drain freely and seep down through all layers – leaving a drier zone at the top (perfect for hardy herbs) and a moist area at the bottom for water lovers. The design also creates microclimates allowing you to plant a diverse range of herbs in a variety of positions (sunny, sheltered and shady). In a typical garden bed or pot, all plants are grown on the one level, so the growing conditions are the same. This design offers you multiple options in a compact space. A striking curved spiral draws the eye as a focal point for your garden. It creates height; becomes a unique talking point for visitors; and is aesthetically pleasing.
