In this video I show you how I build a #Culinary Herb Spiral as per the techniques and principles laid out in ‘Permaculture One’ and the 'Permaculture Designer’s Manual’ written by Bill Mollison.

Here’s a take from the book #permaculture #one :

KITCHEN DOOR CULINARY HERBS. (Permaculture 1 - Page 96, Figure 5.1)

“Imagine a clump of parsley 6 meters away in the main garden. You’ve just made soup and want to season it before serving. It’s raining outside, and you are in your furry slippers. There is NO WAY you are going to rush out and get that parsley! It and many other herbs in the garden remain unharvested because they are too far away. But if we have a #herb bed just outside the kitchen door, harvesting fresh herbs is no problem.

A herb spiral accommodates all the basic culinary herbs on a mound of earth on a 1,6 metre wide base, rising to 1 or 1,3 metres high. This spiral gives variable aspects and drainage, with sunny, dry sites for oil-rich herbs such as thyme, sage, and rosemary, and moist or shaded sites for green foliage herbs such as mint, parsley, chives, and coriander. At the bottom is a small plastic-lined pond in which watercress or water chestnut can be grown. The herb spiral is conveniently watered by one sprinkler placed at the top.
