CABBAGE-WONG BOK is a versatile vegetable, it adds crunch to salads, especially coleslaw, flavor to stir-fries & is a useful steamed vegetable. It has a milder, sweeter flavor than the more usual cabbage. Large barrel-shaped type, the heads have pale green crinkled leaves. Ready in as little as 60-65 days from sowing. Very reliable, particularly in hot weather when it is highly resistant to running to seed.
Direct sow in spring/summer. Lightly cover with soil & pat down. All cabbages like fertile soil &steady moisture.

More About Direct Compost Solutions
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn't suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden.
