How to make a Hotbed

1 Comment

Using the Great No-Dig concept but adding the age old technique of constructing a HotBed we can create a growing space that will allow us to harness the free heat generated by composting manure to grow early crops.

I have used this method for years and although its simple it gives great results

This technique was used at Chatsworth and Heligan to grow pineapples and Citrus in purpose made beds I have just taken this technique and adapted it for Vegetables using readily available Horse Manure

 

If you would more information on Hotbeds I have compiled a resource post which contains all my films on hotbeds,  just click the link below
