DIY: Herb Wheel

My parents have a spectacular backyard overflowing with flower gardens, fruits, vegetables and of course herbs. My mum is always looking for a unique way to alter certain parts of the backyard. One memory she has is of a rickety wagon wheel (for ornamental purpose only) her dad had in their backyard. Since the herbs do not need a lot of space to grow, the wagon wheel becomes the ideal addition to the backyard. When herbs are collectively placed they become an aesthetically pleasing work of art. The wagon wheel I purchased is from here.

{Place the wheel in a cleared area, use a cultivator to turn the soil between the spooks}

{My soil did not come up high enough on the spooks so I added some potting soil}

compost or whatever type of soil you have will also work

 {To plant your herbs be sure to break up the bottom to allow for proper growth}

{To give it a finished look surround with mulch. }

Herbs used: rosemary, lavender, thyme, basil and parsley
