How to Build a Herb Spiral Garden

As a urban gardener, I love ideas that help create more growing space, are visually appealing, low maintenance, very do-able and are easily accessible.

The Herb Spiral is a nature-inspired vertical garden design that is highly productive and energy efficient. It allows you to stack plants in a pyramid to maximize space - a practical and attractive solution. It is typically 6.5ft wide in diameter at the base, ascending to 3.2- 4.2ft, with the center of the spiral at the highest point. The spiral ramp provides a planting area large enough to accommodate all your common culinary herbs but is certainly not limited to just growing herbs!

I like it too. I wonder if the neighborhood cats would think it is an ultra decorative toilet built just for them?

Very good possibility, they would think they were in heaven...lol (just pour vinegar on the stone when you first plant your herbs, kitties don't like that.....or put them flat cactus's in the dirt...ouchhh)

Cacti, marvelous idea!

I use to try all kinds of things to keep the kitties out of the garden, spices, pepper, hot crushed chili pepper, did not work, so a friend said use vinegar or pick some wild cacti and put them in the garden, works great. kitties don't like cacti.
