A warm garden - how to do?

Do you know that beds in the garden are warm? Warmly called beds, made on the principle of a compost pile, because the decomposition of used organic heat is released, so the temperature in this bed is 2-3 ° C higher than the temperature of the surrounding soil, and therefore you can plant the plants on it early and ripen the fruits on them also before. To create warm beds one needs to work well once, and then just maintain their fertility by simply adding any organic debris from the yard inside the beds throughout the season.

How to make a warm garden with your own hands?

Begin to create a warm patch in autumn. The sequence of its creation is as follows:

1. On a sunny place we excavate a trench: the depth is 40-50 cm, the width is not less than 40 cm, the length is arbitrary or we make a box made of any material of the same dimensions.
2. We fill the trench or the box: at the bottom lay out the branches alternately, then - rotten pieces of wood, on top - organic, necessarily alternating or evenly mixing the carbon and nitrogen layers. In the carbon layer you can put paper, dry foliage, crushed sunflower stalks, sawdust, natural fabrics, etc., and in the nitrogen - grass, potato peelings, food waste, manure. You can use anything that will rot and give heat, while pouring all the lime or ash.
3. The last layer (organic) is poured with compost biologic preparations, such as "Radiance" or "Baikal".
4. We layer the layers lightly.
5. For additional heating of the soil, we put on top humus ( compost ) or roofing material (black film).
6. Approximately in a week, when the temperature of the soil on the bed becomes about 25 ° C, we fill it with fertile soil or a mixture of compost and land from the site. The layer should be no less than 20-30 cm.
7. We install curbs along the beds to hold organic matter within the warm patch and protect it from weeds.
8. When building a warm garden, you can not use paper printed materials (newspapers and magazines), as well as tops of tomatoes, potatoes and cucumbers.

What can be planted in warm beds?

Such beds are well suited for planting:

• any vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, etc.);
• berry bushes;
• fruit trees.

Advantages of warm beds

• the soil warms up earlier;
• the fertile layer is constantly fertilized and heated, which allows planting earlier;
• well save from flooding a garden plot.

Thanks to all these advantages of warm beds, their use will help you get an earlier harvest.
