Herbs growers?

[Rosalind]

Can we please get some more pictures?

Not a very nice one, I just got done planting new stuff. Am waiting for it to rain so they'll perk up and look less bedraggled.

Clockwise from the top: Monster marjoram, purple sage, English thyme, pennyroyal, chives, chives, more chives, pineapple sage, some other kind of salvia that smelled nice, more chives, berggarten sage, catmint.

Very nice. I am thinking about planting one to just to have. I don't cook with herbs at all except for garlic salt. So it would only be a just because thing unless after making one I start using the herbs more.

I also am admiring your path- what is it made of? I have a path I used wood chips on last year- but it pretty much turned to dirt over the winter.

Actually, the chips turned to compost and will later turn to humis. Hardwood bark chips are best to use as a mulch since these type of chips have a better carbon to nitrogen ratio and a better balance of nutrients to build soil fertility levels. Pine bark contains natural pre-emergent chemicals that will effect germination of wanted plants. The use of hardwood bark and wood chips is called Ramial Chip Wood and is one of the fastest/cheapest tools for building of topsoil. Do a search for Ramial chipped wood. You might find that the wood chips you are using and the results you are experiencing, is what you are really looking to achieve afterall.
