I was given some seedlings from the Inspire Collective Meet up. And the herbs given were eager to be planted out. Here is the making of the wicking bed 3 for the herbs
Below shows how well the wicking bed been going on day 117.
Do not plant the mint in the soil/ground directly! It took over my whole bed and I had to put it in a pot in the bed.

Day 117: Here is a look at how well the wicking bed is going 😀
