Cucumis sativus
CUCUMBER-WHITE WONDER is an exceptionally crisp cucumber. Burpee introduced this now classic cucumber in 1893, after receiving it from a customer in western NY State. It has been known by many names since then, including Albino, Ivory King, Jack Frost, Landreth's White Slicing & White Albino. Pale ivory, the 15 to 20cm long and 5 to 7.5cm wide. Fruits have an exceptionally crisp texture, making for excellent fresh eating or tasty pickles. Produces high yields, even in high heat. Greenish-white in color they have a cylindrical shape with rounded ends & a nice mild taste.
Sow 2-3 seeds in clumps, later thin to 2 strongest seedlings. At 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out growing tips to advance side shoots. Keep well watered & prepare the soil with the complete fertilizer.

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.
