Each chili of this particular type measures 2.5 to 4cm long by 2.50 to 3 cm wide & matures from a lovely pale green to bright orange. The chilies are very hot with a strong aroma. They taste best fresh but this variety can also be frozen, pickled or put in olive oil very successfully. It is a short bushy plant that reaches about 50cm tall. This is not one for the faint hearted but great for chili heads! Heat level 10

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.
