Leucanthemum superbum
FLOWER-SHASTA DAISY an old favourite perennial. Shasta daisies are herbaceous perennial plants that bear large amounts of golden-centered white flowers at the end of tall, erect stems. They have long been considered a mainstay of the perennial border or cutting garden. This popular daisy grows 5-7cm tall, forming a bushy clump that often grows 60cm wide, with flowers that can be 5-7cm across. Flowers are held high above glossy dark green thick leaves 20-30cm long. Plant in large groups & divide from time to time. For full sun & good soil. Salt tolerant.
Shasta daisies are super easy to start from seed. Indoors, sow them about 6-10 weeks before your last frost date. Outdoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed. Cover seed with about mm of soil and keep the soil moist.

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.
