mulching

next step was muching and planting... I watered or soaked the beds first and then covered with straw. I coverd the paths with straw as well but it looked like all too yellow so I ended up using tea tree muclh and a few old pavers from the garden as edging. so did my reasearch of what to plant together and did the following.....1. basil, purple basil, coriander, chilli, lemon grass....2. parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme [just like the song] lemon thyme, dill, oregano, comfrey......3. lemon tree, spinach, marigolds....4. aloe vera, peppermint, nastursiums, lavender .....5. lettuces, rocket....6. this bed i am still digging urrghhhhh !!!! I also planted a lavender, a cutting from mum in front of one of the beds.
