Summer isn’t summer without sunflowers, they not only look fabulous but are also magnets for beneficial insects.
Sunflowers are annuals that can be sown where they are to flower. Ensure that they are planted in a fertile, well-drained, sunny position in the garden. Sow seeds directly into the garden about 30cm apart. As a general rule seed can be sown to double the depth of the seed and cover with soil. It is important to water the seeds regularly and to keep the bed weed free. Water with a liquid fertilizer (Seasol) every 2 to 3 weeks to boost the height.

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.
