Fantastic video, thank you!
I now know what's wrong with my herb spiral, I'll have to rebuild it :)
It's more videos like this that we need. Simple, straight to the point and easy to follow!

I would love to see a video of what that herb garden looks like now!

No evidence from me,I was using common sense, I rely a lot on that. I was just thinking that generally speaking ink impregnated cardboard is not up there high on my ' consume ' list. It is a observation not a slam. The design and practicality of your spiral is excellent and attractive to the eye.

@MrNobodyNothing she decomposes, and is made of organic compounds

@Jefferdaughter please show evidence of harm

@tabletopphoto i like to use more soil and organic fertilizers
-
@Jefferdaughter that's a great idea, I can't wait to try it!

@chyrd I prefer to put a lot of soil to make sure it has the nutrients it needs. but if you want to fill a lot of garden space and don't feel like buying a million dollar worth of plants, it is and easy way to get a pretty gardening lawn presence in an afternoon, if you have a bunch of bricks, stones, or safe garbage.

@demerc yes, it must be maintained, and eventually the plants will outgrow the soil alloted for them, and straw, while great for temperature and moisture control does not have adequate nutrition to allow plants to provide as much produce as they could. It depends on how hard core you want to get with it. you can fill it all full of soil if you want and get more than you could if it was just flat, (i would think, although i have admittedly never done it)
evidence?

@soulrebel888 it is a way to get the benefits of terracing towards the sun on a flat surface. it allows for a variety of plants based on sun needs. If one is making an herb garden primarily for looks and buys plants instead of growing them from seed, it is a quick way to have a pretty garden in an afternoon. it's a fun reason to get the family or friends or neighborhood together, it looks nice. if made of hard enough soil, water distribution gets interesting
