Most herbs love the sun
Most herbs need sun, which is why the herb snail should ideally be set up in a sunny location. The bed is divided into several zones with a wide variety of substrates from lean and dry to nutrient-rich and moist. Different conditions arise in relation to light and shadow as well as moisture. In addition, the herbs benefit from the warmth that the stones store in the sun and slowly release again. This heat storage even mitigates light night frosts.
The different zones
The upper zone of the herb spiral is full of sun, the soil is permeable, lean and dry. The sunny to partially shaded middle zone offers a moderately nutrient-rich and dry location, while the sunny and nutrient-rich lower zone offers a moist subsoil.
Tips
Since the location of the herbs makes sense in house or Should be close to the kitchen, the herb spiral is often included in the terrace design.
