Whether you want to grow a kitchen herb garden or just for healthier eating, there are countless herbs you can grow in your backyard. Fresh herbs make recipes taste even better and are great to have around for soups, salads, and stews.
Are you thinking of growing an herb garden? Why not learn how to make this DIY spiral herb garden!
It is a bed design perfect for planting herbs or plants that have various growing conditions. Those that prefer dry environment could be put on top of the spiral while those who need moisture would go at the bottom.
