In the Biofarm garden we have craeted a practical spice/herb spiral bed for growing spice and herb plants in a spirally shaped form. The growing spice and herbs not only decorates our garden, but spices and herbs can also be used in the kitchen. Our spices grow properly in a variety of soil conditions, and we have the opportunity to create this with the appropriate orientation of the spice spiral and the arrangement of the plants:
- Upper, dry, Mediterranean zone. Thin sandy soil with good drainage, typical plants e.g. thyme, sage, oregano.
- Middle, transitional zone. Its soil is rich in nutrients, and plants that like sunlight and heat can be planted here, e.g. chives, basil, anise.
- Lower, wet zone. It is located at the bottom of the spiral, the soil is rich in humus and nutrients, and can be planted with damp, shade-loving plants, e.g. mint.
