I'm gonna experiment this year with an open compost, just a pile of
weed on the lotty and I'll grow nasturtium on it. I saw a pile like
this once and it was so pretty. I just hope it won't harden too much.
Anyone did this?

Make a 'container' by knocking a few stakes in the ground and surrounding it
with chicken wire.
Make a couple and rotate the compost
Takes a bit longer than regular wooden or plastic containers, but does work

Thanx. Won't rotate too long because of the nasturnium !
