Anthriscus cerefolium
HERB-CHERVIL is a member of the Carrot family & its leaves highly resemble carrot tops. The young green leaves, which smell similar to Anise, are collected before they lose their flavour. Chervil is best used fresh. To store wrap it in damp paper towels & cling wrap & keep it in the crisper in the fridge. It can only be used for 2 to 3 days. Its short life span means that it is difficult to find for sale, & this is one reason that it is not well known. Chervil grows to a height of 30 to 66 cm & has small white flowers.
Chervil will grow in any soil but dislikes being too wet although it does need water, it won’t like being in badly drained soil.

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.
