I've been looking for information to construct an herb spiral.  Found a video
on the web that promises lots of instruction, but can't seem to locate it.
Has anyone heard of the video called "Eat Your Garden"?   Harold Waldock in
Canada suggested I contact John Irwin, who might know where to get it.
Anyone know John?
Or does anyone know of a good source to learn to build the spiral?
Thanks,

John is presenting doing graduate study in Canada.  I regret that I do not 
have the current address at my fingertips.  (I'm on the other site of the NA 
continent from my files for a few weeks.)

We have Mollison's description on how to construct a spiral garden with an 
illustration or two or three in one of the Permaculture Design Course 
Pamphlets that we publish (with Bill's permission),  Again, it would be 
awkward to look up the exact pamphlet while here in San Francisco, but I 
could give it a shot if you think it would meet  your needs.  Frankly 
assembling an herb spiral isn't exactly in a league with assembling and 
launching a space probe.  You can do it.  The pamphlet covers all the 
considerations, or you can just build one and see how it works.  You can 
always rebuild one--they aren't that difficult to assemble.  if  you have all 
the rock, chunks of concrete, or whatever you have to use, and all the soil 
you will use to fill it, you can put one together in the order of an hour if 
you take your time.

You can check our web page, but at the present I don't think we have any 
drawings of the herb spiral there.  It is
