Since we are too old to think about gardening anymore (we took down the
garden fences), we are thinking about something like this for a few
non-spreading herbs. Someone at the assisted living apartments where f-i-l
lives built this and I think it is something that we might be able to raise
a few herbs without dealing with pots. (I really don't like all those
separate pots.) I would put it near the house on a due south side. It
would save stooping over for both of us.
