Newly mulched herb bed

[samvara]

I realise this is probably only of interest to me. My chicken and mulberry recipe called for thyme and after utterly failing to find any in a shop I ended up buying potted thyme and accidentally starting a herb bed. I'm starting with sweet basil, thyme and coriander.

I'm now wondering if I could make the entire front 'lawn' into a herb bed and just mow it flat every now and then - would smell nice.

I take it you are yet to join the grubby_nails group then, cos we're ALL interested in this sort of thing!

I just posted a link about raised bed gardens where the guy just dumps stuff on lawn and builds up from there. Check it out!

I'm going to start by filling the existing beds with plants!
