Growing Herbs In A Rockery

3 replies

gscrym · 22/03/2009 15:33

I have a rockery that needs some attention. There's nothing in it at the moment so I would like to use it to grow herbs. Is this possible and what types should I go for. I was going to re-arrange the stones, pour over some compost and plant stuff.

Also, I was thinking of getting some veg growing bags. The garden centre have a variety pack with one that would do for spuds, one that mould do for onions (I think) and one possibley for lettuce.

Any help apprecited

I'm growing herbs in a rockery, mainly rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon balm and mint. They are all doing very well with little soil. I'm trying to grow summer savory from seeds at the moment and will put that into the rockery as well. Basil would do well in a rockery too, I think. I grow all other herbs (parsley, chives, borage, chervil, dill, fennel) in pots.
I have used grow bags successfully for courgettes and lettuce. Havn't tried to grow potatoes yet.
