Herb gardens are a great addition to your home if you have some leftover space in your yard that you want to fill with something nice. This is a great way to ensure that you have fresh herbs all year and that you can always add some extra flavors to your home dishes.
The most important step in setting up your herb garden is to find the right spot, as herbs prefer sun all year round.
Think about spots that receive plenty of sunlight all year round and you can start planning the look of your garden as soon as possible. Among the plants you can grow are basil, chives, dill, cilantro, mint, thyme, and oregano.
You can grow all these herbs in one place, by installing a spiral garden and creating separate layers for every herb.
Such spiral gardens permit up to 25 linear ft, creating separate compartments for each plant. Once you create each tiny area for the herbs, you can start planting in a spiral or “C” shape and make sure to provide plenty of water to the herbs.

An Herb Spiral. An Herb Spiral is a simple way to improve your kitchen garden. Spiral of rocks, bricks or what have you encloses soil where many kinds of herbs …

These days, I saw that many people who seemed to be interested in herb spirals, so, if done properly, they need little maintenance and can keep the herbs all around the year. Basically, the idea behind them is to get in a confined area as many different herbs as possible. The spiral and the subsequent height differences mean that you create a number of different environmental conditions which wouldn’t normally be possible in a small space. The small area also means that they are ideal for a little garden, therefore harvesting and watering is easy. How it works? Start from a spiral bed in which to plant, this is held together with a structure made of rock, brick or anything that can really absorb the heat of the sun during the day which in turn heats the soil. I searched some tutorials of “how to build”, and I selected more detailed one to show you. See below a video about “how to build” a herb spiral with rocks, straw, soil, herbs, and water.
