The girls took down the above-ground pool as I didn't like where it was and it needed a good cleaning anyway. The bonus is, I now have a perfect circle with no weeds or grass that I have dug, composted and tilled and a new place to plant!!
So I'm thinking a herb and tea garden (it's really big). So how deep should I put a barrier if I were to put mint in one of the pie wedges of it?? Six feet? Or maybe it would be smarter to just bury it in large pots. Thoughts??
Any ideas as to what would make good plantings for teas besides mint? I hesitate to grow and sell any medicinals to the public...the legal liability thing haunts me.

oh how wonderful that you have a perfect circle all ready for planting... i have recently come across a book that i bought a year or so ago when i was only dreaming of a place of my own so that i could plant to my heart's desire (at that time, i didn't realize how much there is to do when you have a place of your own!). its called "the medicine wheel garden" and would be the perfect thing for a perfect circle!!! my experience and knowledge of medicine wheels is within native american spirituality but i understand there were other cultures that built them as well.
i would love to see pics of your herb & tea wheel when you've got it planted!
