Before the digging began...
After Tess dug it into the ground...
The reason for using this for our herbs is so we can keep a check on their spread. Many herbs, example Mint, will spread voraciously if given the space and opportunity. We are going to control this spread by planting them in an old bath I acquired for a tenner!!
Before Tess filled it will soil, we laid the tub so as the plug hole was down stream, next we laid a mesh (handily donated by an anonymous fellow allotmenteer) in the bottom to help with drainage.
Then some stoney soil was expertly shovelled in up to half way. We are going to fill the rest of the tub with shop-bought compost.
