Herb Spiral

Yesterday I went to visit Adele's allotment for the first time in many weeks. The change astounded me. The place is bursting with life! Here's a photo of the herb spiral she constructed fairly recently. As well as being aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it's a practical way of growing herbs because it provides a large variety of different conditions in a very small space. Different herbs with different requirements can be planted at different locations on the spiral, enabling drainage and received sunlight to be controlled for the maximum benefit of the individual plants.
