Читать книгу Your Herb Garden - Barbara Segall - Страница 13

Whatever the size and shape of your herb bed, you need to be able to work the soil from all angles without treading on it and flattening it with your feet. Similarly, you need to be able to maintain the plants without damaging them, and may need to create access paths. These allow a circulation of air in and around the herb beds, thereby reducing the likelihood of disease. Sensibly planned paths also divide a large herb garden into manageable units and form the framework for herb hedges.

Mark any proposed paths on the plan. At this stage you may decide on a central feature such as a sundial or an old chimney pot, statuary or a bird bath, which can also be shown on the plan.
