Do-it-yourself rocky hill with spicy herbs
SPICY AREA
Fragrant herbs on our site appeared even before laying the garden. For example, oregano, which was found along the ditch, among the thickets of Ivan tea. From this moment began my passion for spices and medicinal plants.
When I collected a collection of 14 varieties, I came to the conclusion that it was necessary to build ... a “snail” slide, at least 3 m in diameter.
WORK STEPS
Having marked the area with a cord and pegs, I took out the earth to the depth of the shovel bayonet inside the contour and laid out a stone curb on the cement mortar. The wall was made 80 cm high.
The cavity of the high cone was first filled with gravel, from above with garden soil with the addition of sand (2: 1), the middle and lower parts with a mixture of earth and compost (2: 1).
She chose a place for her so that she “opened” to the south side. Below, she planned to arrange a pond with a depth of 50 cm.
POPULATION
Hyssop, oregano, St. John's wort, thyme were planted in the upper part of the "snail". And every spring I sow the seeds of cephalophora - strawberry grass. I use them to flavor tea, drinks, cocktails, vinegar.
Lavender, lemon balm, mountain savory, anise lofant, catnip, monarda, peppermint settled in the middle tier.
In moist places, water mint, onion-slime, and canoper grow.
Around the pond landed hosts, daylilies, and along the masonry several types of astilbe and incense. I use its dry leaves for the preparation of tonic “Mongolian tea”. It normalizes blood pressure and improves metabolism in the body.
BTW
But empty places are planted with basil and bush nasturtium. Their leaves are good to add to salads. I decorate dishes with nasturtium flowers, and soak its unripe seeds (for 1-2 hours) and cook like salted cucumbers. This is a delicious addition to barbecue.
2. In order for herbs to develop normally, I “keep in check” aggressive. For example, I spew out overgrown specimens of mint and make fragrant brooms from them to flavor the bath.
