The herbs in the greenhouse were looking a little sorry for theirselves so we were looking for a better spot for them. We managed to take over a raised bed on the patio which will be very convenient for picking the herbs for culinary purposes ;)
Mulching the garlic bed :) we used shredded cardboard from boxes, damped it down a little with water to keep it in place and then replaced the chicken wire. Once it's started to compost down a little then we'll remove the chicken wire.
The original bed, mostly spider plants and rocks.
Fetching the wheelbarrow ;)
Digging up the bed
Weird tripod rooty thing
Wormy soil :)
Wheelbarrow full of plants and an empty bed :)
Abi helping to move the rocks away. We'll keep these for holding fleece etc down :)
Tada, finished bed ready for this years herbs. Currently has some coriander, chives, parsley, mint and thyme in there. Also we kept a random plant from the rockery, as it climbs the trellis and has beautiful white flowers on it.
