Lycopersicon esculentum
TOMATO-KY1 An Australian heritage seed that is also known as 'Scoresby'. Medium red, round fruit with an excellent flavor on strong, vigorous, disease resistant plants. A prolific harvest that originated in Kyabram Victoria. Loved for its flavor and is a good all-rounder that does not need lots of attention. A bush variety that is an old favorite.
Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover, keep moist but not wet. Transplant when seedlings achieve 4-6 leaves.

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.
