Brassica Rapa
TURNIP-TOKYO MARKET-HAKUREI is a very early type turnip that matures 30 days after sowing in spring and autumn. Roots are 7.5cm in diameter & the roots are slightly flattened. Pure white flesh is very tender & well flavored. This is a popular, Japanese, open-pollinated turnip that has tender, smooth white flesh and the young top greens are delicious.
Plant seeds outdoors where they are to grow & cover seeds with fine soil. When young seedlings are 5 to 10 cm tall, thin to 10 to 15cm apart. Avoid using fresh manure in a soil where you plant turnips. Plants produce best in light, well-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.
