Coriandrum sativum
HERB-CORIANDER-CILANTRO has quite a strong odour. A member of the parsley family, both the plant & its fruit are featured extensively in Asian, Latin, & Indian cuisines. You'll find it enhancing the flavour of Chinese soups, Indian masalas, & Mexican salsas. It is an extremely popular spice with a pleasing lemony flavour. Little is known about the origins of the coriander plant, although it is generally thought to be native to the Mediterranean & parts of SW Europe. Experts believe its use dates back to at least 5,000 BC. References to coriander can be found in Sanskrit writings, & the seeds were placed in Egyptian tombs.
Outdoors, sow directly in pots, do not transplant as root disturbance causes early bolting.

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.
