Warick's Herb garden

Created on Sunday, 17 Aug 08

This garden was built at the same time as the vegetable garden, however the idea was not to create a no-dig garden but to utilise what was already on site. Alot of organic matter was added and the PH was also rectified. The idea was to create a herb garden that could be well planted with the herbs we use for cooking and not to clog up the vegetable garden with alot of herbs.
