Whenever we start a orchard and more ecological if it is appropriate to have a small portion of land where plants grow fast growth that is then used as green manure. The best situation is obtained from vegetable patches, as they constitute an insurmountable barrier for those soil pests which come in crops.
And leave space for USEFUL HERBS, if you have a minimum of space in the garden. It is useful to prepare a solid for the cultivation of medicinal herbs, seasoning and, since they involve the ideal complement to the pantry in the manger.
These species are not affected by pests and diseases typical of the vegetables and further maintenance is easy to perform.
The most suitable place to place it depends on the type of plant to be planted. Be distinguished two main groups. The species that require moist environments, such as mint, dill, basil, lemon balm, etc, and prefer the driest places eg thyme, capers, rosemary, fennel, etc..
If the characteristics of the terrain allows it, stand on higher ground than the rest of the orchard, imitating a small wooden fence to better retain soil and prevent their stalks are stepped on, or the seeds are spread out of the bed.
Always have these plants do better if the proximity of a wall to protect them from the wind and cold was utilized.
Feel free to take advantage of the ends of the plot and those portions of land that have been released in different parts of the orchard, between terraces or between the shed and the driveway, etc.
