JUST TO SAY THE SMALL POND IN THIS HERB SPIRAL HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER. I WOULD FULLY RECOMMEND THIS TO BE BUILD INTO THE HERB SPIRAL. PONDS ARE GREAT FOR ENCOURAGING WILDLIFE...
+Work With Nature - Organic Gardening, Beekeeping & Seed Saving How does the Watercress do in the stagnant water. I have just built my herb spiral (with a small pond for watercress at the base but in my research i've come across alot of people saying that root rot will occur in stagnant water. I plan to drip irrigate the herb spiral with a few emitters going into the pond to replenish what is lost due to evaporation.
That is a beautiful herb garden! I made one this spring but I put vegies in it I love it, so will also make a herb garden spiral also this coming spring time, thanks for sharing!
quiet simple materials and very Beautiful at the same time. great to see kids being involved with nature. greta way to grow herbs must smell great after a rain in the sunshine :) while sipping some mint tea :)
That's beautiful. :) My yard grows rocks really well of all sizes. I may have to build one of those in my yard. Usually I just toss the rocks over the fence as I find them. There are plenty out there I can retrieve. :) - Heidi
Real informative and well worth the watch, sure do appreciate your sharing it. I would like to ask, would it be a consideration, to apply seasoned wood chips as mulch and weed deterrent. We've recently made a small gardening area using wood chips from a tree cutting service, and are well pleased with how the plants are thriving in it, and there are hardly any weed, Thank You. Mrs. Tc

I can only second that, Have seen them live, know them and that is why I feature their music in my videos. You are right they are worth checking out. They kindly gave me permishion to use their music. So I have often put a thankyou note in the videos to also let people know.
For my needs, I mainly keep two small planters for herbs. One is for perennials and one for annuals. One 4'x4' planter comfortably holds 9 good sized herbs, especially if one uses bottomless clay pots.
Great for small herbs - thyme, marjoram, chive, etc but if you live in areas with a long growing season the size of basil, fennel, dill cilantro, rosemary, etc are just too big for this design. Great feature with the pool nearby
How to Videos Organic Gardening & Beekeeping by Work With Nature Ah okay, thx! :) We are planning a herb spiral at the moment, but wonder how to know how much stone we have to get. Is there any easy way of calculating/knowing this? Did you ever document how much you used for this spiral? :)
Well I usually have a group of highly trained ninja turtles. But jokes aside. We don't have that problem. In some countries it is not good to have water near your area where you live. But then maybe there are herbs you could place in the pond that will discourage them. David.
The little critters who lived here before our arrival (opossums, raccoons, etc.) gobbled the little fish up as soon as we put them in! My husband put a screen over the top and VIOLA we still have fish! We don't mind sharing with our furry neighbors, but they were becoming a tad to greedy! LOL.
You just allow the rain to do it :) This was filmed 4 month ago because of the time it takes me to do the editing. I only got it uploaded now. But in that time the spiral has worked great. The water has not been stagnated. Cheers David.
Of the top of my head it was Echinacea, basil, chamomile, dill, cilantro, mint, water cress, lemon balm, thyme, rosemary, sage, rue, and oregano. Mediterranean small herbs to the top, middle and front, so south facing for full sun. These would be chamomile, thyme, basil, oregano, rue, Echinacea. Then I would place the dill the cilantro, rosemary, sage, towards the back as these grow quite tall. At the lowest and nearest to the water would be rue, lemon balm. Then in the water would be mint and water cress.
10 years and not another video has topped this herb garden demo .
One of the nicest herb spirals I have seen,
DEAR ALL,
JUST TO SAY THE SMALL POND IN THIS HERB SPIRAL HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER.
I WOULD FULLY RECOMMEND THIS TO BE BUILD INTO THE HERB SPIRAL.

what size pot did you use?
Beautiful, great inspiration - have tons of stones in the garden and so it will be a Herb Spiral next to my Keyhole Garden! :)

Mine as well
Thank you for sharing! Also nice that you show at the end the result .
Ohhh, Want to build one in my garden!
Thanks for the video!
I love it, great team work
Pretty! Thanks for sharing.
this is a great demonstration of an ingenious idea. Very nice job fitting so much information into 7mins. well done
Thanks.
It was fun making it :)

Beautiful herb spiral!
Gut gemacht, Leute! Ich hatte gedacht, dass es schwer wäre, aber es war super einfach!
What a great looking herb spiral. Thanks for sharing :)

Very nice..thanks for sharing !
It's so pretty!
great video,i will try this spring
Excellent! I will get right on it right after the ground unthaws, hopefully before July! Thanks. :-)
Pretty indeed ...
Beautiful! Love it:)
This is beautiful, are there instruction for construction? Thanks.
Great!
Ow nice!

I know what you are getting at but then people would harvest too.
awesome
\0/ Wow! Thank you for this wonderful inspirational video!!! Well done!!! :-D
We will build it in our garden soon ;-)
I love it! Many thanks!
How do you drain stagnant water from the pond?
So beautiful! Why did you put small stones around some of the plants, but not all?
That was just for fun :)
David.

Hey that's great. They are a lot of fun to build. I would start with half a ton for now. But I do not know the exsact amount.
love this video! Would there be any mosquitoes coming from that water though?
It could if you live in a place with lots of them. Then I would exclude the pond in the making of the spiral.
put a small solar fountain pump. it will aerate the water and discourage mosquitoes who do not like moving water
True and it would look prity nice too. :)
Good idea :-)
beautiful! how long did it take you to do?
What is the purpose of the pond? This is the first time I've seen a pond incorporated into an herb spiral.
LOVE IT! How do you keep "the pond" from growing mosquitoes?
Well I usually have a group of highly trained ninja turtles.
But jokes aside.
We don't have that problem. In some countries it is not good to have water near your area where you live. But then maybe there are herbs you could place in the pond that will discourage them. David.
Work With Nature Where can I get ninja turtles? Those would be good to get rabbits out too...

ALSO...we had a blast building this! I know we will truly enjoy the herbs & flowers come spring. THANK YOU so much for posting.

This is wunderschönen!
que plantitas dejo en el estanque ?
what are the herbs you used? would you post a diagram of the layout?

oh thank you! this is one of my favorite info video regarding herbs and gardening. thank you so much!

where does the water come from ?
