RADISH-CHINA ROSE-aka KAIWARE (TREATED) a tasty radish from China, the Jesuits enjoyed this rose skinned, white fleshed radish variety so much in China during the 1800’s that they took it back to Europe with them. A very hardy autumn/winter variety also grows well in the spring. Pure white flesh is firm and relatively mild. The roots grow to 20cm long x 5cm wide and have a crisp, peppery flavour. The leaves can also be added to salads & stir fries. Also known as Kaiware Radish.
Sow at regular intervals from very early spring & also early autumn. Radishes grow well in most soils but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow into well-cultivated soil. Sow very thinly. Thin out seedlings to 3-5cm apart.

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.
