How to make a warm bed for cucumbers and why you need it: experienced farmers revealed their secret

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's easy 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 creating warm beds is that they should be located along an 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, solid 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, you should spread a small layer of finished compost or burnt manure.

Finally, the soil must be poured in. The thickness of the last layer should be 25-35 centimeters.

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