A warm bed is a technique used when growing vegetables and helps plants develop better.

In addition, with the help of such tricks, crops tolerate temperature changes better. Thus, heat-loving plants are protected from return frosts.

It is not difficult to make such a bed in your garden, but here, as in any process, there are its own subtleties.

The first thing to consider when forming warm beds: they should be located along the east-west line. This way, the plants will develop better throughout the day.

It is easier to care for the beds if their width does not exceed 100-120 centimeters.

Finally, you should take care of filling the bed. To do this, branches, twigs, and strong, hard stems are laid out as the first layer.

The second layer consists of cut plant tops, weeds (make sure to use weeds without seeds), fallen leaves, and spoiled vegetables or fruits.

Next, a small layer of ready-made compost or burnt manure should be laid out.

Finally, at the end, it is necessary to pour soil. The thickness of the last layer should be 25-35 centimeters.

Remember: when filling, all layers should be shed with water.
