Revitalised herbage bed

Next to the “Kitchen Caravan” was an old, feral herbage bed. Originally intended to be used by passionated cookers, it was overgrown with weeds, wild flowers and grass.

For a herbs fancier like me an absolute no-go. Herbs need to have space to grow, a lot of sun, water und abundant manure.

No sooner said than done. After digging lots of weed roots out, dunging with rotten horseshit (a great manure!), watering the plants and renewing the border the herbage bed is totally revitalised.

Marjoram, mint, thyme and apple mint do grow now in a new glory. What a pleasure!
