Lycopersicon esculentum
A cherry tomato with full flavor, not just sugar-lump sweetness. This strain was a favorite of Alan Chadwick, the British master gardener who introduced the French Intensive method of gardening to the USA. Camp Joy plants produce continuous harvests. Stake the strong-growing vines to support their heavy load of 2.5 to 4cm full-flavored fruits. Enjoy these year-round by slicing some in half and drying them for naturally sweet snacks. Indeterminate. Fruits ripen about 65 days from transplant. Plant is 1.8-2.4m high & disease resistant. Only a killer frost can fell this strong runner. If you want to try just one cherry tomato, this is the one.
Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover – keep moist but not wet. To transplant, plant deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves, this increases rooting & speeds maturity. keep fertilized & evenly watered.

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.
