Use planting stones to make your own herb spiral
What could be better than fragrant, aromatic herbs next to the favorite seat in the garden, freshly decorating the plate on the salad, on the grilled food or as a colorful, edible ornament? Even those who only have a small garden can save space with a herbal spiral and still cultivate a large selection of their favorite herbs. Such a spiral is cheap and quickly erected with little effort.
