How to design an Herb Garden?

What is the best way to design a herb garden?

Does anyone have links to well designed garden ideas?

I’m looking for links to good photographs, or even video links. I’m NOT interested in flower, or the extremely fancy herb gardens.

I’m interested in really practicle gardens that produce fruits, vegtables, berries, and possibly small orchards.

Living and working on my own farm leaves me little to no time to tour the gardens of other people. I’m always looking for good ideas I can incorperate into my own gardens and orchard.

So links with pictures, good drawings, or videos would be very much appreciated!

how much should I charge for a small herb garden?

I planted a rock-lined herb garden for my mother recently, and her co-workers and friends have shown interest in one of their own. I estimate about 250-300$ if I want to make any money, but I feel like I should be charging more, even though I already feel like people will not want to pay that much for one.

The specifics:
20 ft diameter, rock-bordered, one large bag of high-grade potting soil mixed with the topsoil, 4 hours of labor, 1 hour of purchasing plants, 1 hour collecting local stones for border, 1 hour painting rocks as labels for each herb, and a total of 30 plants (9 different herbs).

I don’t have my own tools, so I’d have to use theirs, and I also designed the layout. I would definitely discount if I had to use the customers’ tools and if they also designed the layout of the garden. The price would obviously reflect the size of the garden, but the 20 ft diameter price would be a good starting place.

Thanks for your input!

Help with grade 10 math problem?

Please do not give me the answer, just explain to me how to solve the problem.

5. A landscape gardener has designed a circular herb garden with 4 sectors, shown on the left. The radius of one sector is 4’3″. Each sector will be surrounded with plastic lawn edging that costs $9.99 for a 20′ roll. Assume that you cannot buy partial rolls.

So far I’ve converted the inches to feet, it’s 4.25′.

But now I don’t know what to do next. Help?

How can I grow herbs in my home w/o any electrical gadgets?

I buy tons of herbs each week from the grocery store and its getting kinda expensive. Basil in particular costs a bit and its always half dead and spotted to begin with. I can never find nice basil!

So to save me anywhere from 5-10 bucks a week Id like to have an indoor herb garden. I looked into those herb grower gadgets but it seems they ALL have design flaws in the pump which cause them to be noisy. SO Id rather not buy one.

Where I live its a warm/hot summer and a cold frigid winter. I just bought a baby basil plant yesterday and planted it in a small pot (smells heavenly). If I care for it and keep it warm and in sunlight will in continue to grow inside??

What about parsley/rosemary/cilantro/oregano/thyme?? They are the ones I use the most. If I plant them all in small separate ‘counter sized’ pots and care for them is it possible they will grow without the fancy machines??

Thank you!

What are some good sites for ergonomics and anthropometrics in product design? (doing GCSE graphics)?

Hi I’m doing GCSE graphics and my brief is “I am to design a graphic product that will encourage families to grow their own garden. It will be aimed at families who do not spend a lot of time outdoors and would like to try out a new creative hobby together. It will contain a range of seed packaging with other accessories to help make it easy and simple to plant and grow vegetables/plants/herbs/flowers as well as instructions on how to use the product.”

I need to research relevant ergonomics and anthropometrics I will need to design my product. Do you know any good sites where I can find some good data/info?

Thank youu

What would be the best location to plant veggies and herbs?

Okay at school we have a small plot in the back for a butterfly garden that we are going to create tomorrow. My teacher bought veggies, herbs and only flowers that are suppose to attract butterflies. So tomorrow we are going to design it and apparently plant it. I thought we were going to take more time to actually plan the layout of the garden but looks like we are just going to dig in. So I want quickly gather some information on what would possible be the most beneficial layout (I don’t know if herbs would be better next to the veggies or the veggies next to the flowers whatnot). So hopefully this small research will be helpful tomorrow when a bunch of kids show up ready to get their hands dirty (all I can think of is chaos ::shivers::). SO absolutely any help would be fantastic!

Could please answer these problem solving on applications on linear equations?

We had these 50 item homework about it and I cannot answer 10 of it so please help me?
Here are the problems:
1.Novels.
A literature professor owns 400 novels. The number of horror novels is 46% of the number of science fiction novels; the number of science fiction novels is 65% of the number of romance novels; and the number of mystery novels is 17% of the number of horror novels. How many science fiction novels does the professor have? Round to the nearest ones.

2.Installing Seamless Guttering.
The Jordans are installing seamless guttering on their house. This type of
guttering is delivered on a continuous roll. Sections are then cut from the roll as needed. The Jordans know that they need 127 ft of guttering for 6 separate sections and that the four shortest sections will be the same size. The longest piece of guttering is 13ft more than twice the length of the mid-size piece. The shortest piece of guttering is 10ft less than the mid-size piece. How long is each piece of guttering.

3.Real Estate Commission.
The following is typical real estate commission on the selling price of a house:
7% for the first $100,000, and 4% for the amount that exceeds $100,000. A realtor receives a commission of $10,320 for selling a house. What was the selling price?

4.Picture Framing.
A piece of wood trim that is 100 in. Long is to be cut into pieces, and those pieces are each to be cut into four pieces to form a square frame. The length of a side of one square is to be 1½ times the length of a side of the other. How should the wood be cut?

5.Carpet Cleaning.
A carpet company charges $75 to clean the first 200 sq ft of carpet. There is an additional charge of 25¢ per sq ft for any footage that exceeds 200 sq ft and $1.40 per step for any carpeting on a staircase. A customer’s cleaning bill was $253.95. this included the cleaning of a staircase. In addition to the staircase, how many sq ft of carpet did the customer have cleaned?

6.Triangular Piece Monument.
In Indianapolis, Indiana, children have turned a vacant lot into a monument for peace. This community project brought together neighborhood volunteers, businesses, and government in hopes of showing children positive nonviolent ways of dealing with conflict. A landscape architect used the children’s drawings and ideas to design a triangular are formed by Indiana Avenue and Senate Avenue. The third side is formed by an apartment building. The second angle of the triangle is 7º more than the first. The third angle is 7º less than twice the first. How large are the angles?

7.Moving sidewalks.
A moving sidewalk in O’Hare Airport is 300ft long and moves at a speed of 5 ft/sec. If Kate walks at a speed of 4ft/sec, how long will it take her to travel the 300 ft using the moving sidewalk?

8.Blending Flower Seeds.
Tara’s website, Garden Edibles, specializes in the sale of herbs and flowers for colorful meals and garnishes. Tara sells packets of nasturtium seeds for 95¢ each and packets Johnny-jump-up seed for $1.43 each. She decides to offer a 16-packet spring garden combination, combining packets of both types of seeds at $1.10 per packet. How many packets of each type of seed should be put in her garden mix?

9.Air Travel.
An airplane flies 1062 mi with the wind. In the same amount of time, it can fly 738 mi against the wind. The speed of the plane in still air 200 mph. Find the speed of the wind.

10.Planning an Intertribal Dance.
Hannah Two Rivers and Feather McBride are planning the Intertribal Dance Event for September’s Council Tree Pow Wow and Cultural Festival. Less experienced, Feather estimates that if she were working alone, it would take her 9 hours longer than Hannah to complete the job. Working together, the two women finish in 20 hrs. How long would it take each, working alone, to complete the job?
