Experienced gardeners know that warm beds, in modern terms, are in trend. That is, they enjoy well-deserved respect and popularity for their simplicity of design and rich harvest.
Having made warm beds, you can not only get an early harvest, increase the fruiting period, but also solve other problems: raise the site, make drainage (which is especially in snowy winter or rainy seasons relevant).
For beginners, we will explain that these are handmade beds that are filled with biowaste. In the process of decay, waste, releasing heat, creates the effect of warm - heated beds. On such a bed, you can grow any crops, plant earlier, and therefore get an early harvest. The fruiting period may also increase.
Filling the beds is a biomaterial, or it is also called biofuel (organic matter).
Making a warm bed is easy and fast enough.
If you have a garden equipment in the form of a mini tractor - great, if not - in a few hours you can do it alone. Dig a minimum 50 cm long trench. You can also dig up 1 - 2 meters, especially if there is a lot of biowaste or building material that can be used as drainage at the bottom (large stone, brick).
It is very good when there is a forest near the dacha. There you can take fallen trees and branches with foliage. Dispose of biowaste (biofuel) in layers:
- The lowest layer is the bottom, it is better to cover it with a fine-mesh metal mesh to protect it from rodents.
- Then we lay tightly the largest boards, tree trunks or stone (for drainage and raising the site).
- Chopped branches of trees and bushes, trunks from corn and sunflower.
- Grass, foliage and food waste.
- Good land.
You can sprinkle each layer with foliage and grass to fill the voids and to speed up the decay process.
IMPORTANT! To avoid harmful bacteria, the trees and grass you are laying must not be sick.
In spring, to start heat transfer, pour warm water into which you can add manure infusion. You can immediately cover the ground, and as soon as the temperature inside the soil rises to 10-15 degrees, you can plant plants.
The deeper the pit and the thicker the trees, the longer the decomposition processes will continue, and the bed will stay warm longer. On average, 3 to 10 years.
In the first years, it is better to plant more heat-loving plants on a warm bed.
