Rocks lining circular herbs garden

Circle2

River rocks are very aesthetic– smooth and round and a beautiful gray-blue hue. Choosing rocks is like a puzzle; one challenge is lining up rocks such that their edges fit from the base to the top. We used larger rocks along the outer edges and slightly smaller ones lining the inner circle. When lifting heavy rocks, be sure to bend from the knees and keep your stomach muscles tight.
