In difficult weather conditions of the middle zone, many cultures find it difficult to take root in the open ground. It is known that the higher the bed, the better the soil warms up in it.
To create a reliable side help ordinary plastic bottles. But the main task of such a bed is to warm the earth.
In this review, the author tells how to quickly make a simple warm bed for moody southerners.
The main stages of work
For such a tape you will need 25 bottles. This amount is enough for a small round bed. Tape them on both sides with tape.
Next, install the bottles in the space provided for the beds. You can additionally wrap them in a circle with stretch film so that the earth does not wake up from the sides.
Now you need to pour water into each bottle. Proceed with filling when you have precisely decided on the place and shape of the bed. Otherwise, the structure will easily fall apart when moving.
Next, you can fill the bed with earth. Thoroughly compact and moisten the soil so that it does not settle after watering. In addition to the fact that the bottles become a high wall of the bed, the water in them is a heat accumulator.
In sunny weather, the water will heat up and give off heat at night. Thus, day-night temperature fluctuations will be reduced to a minimum.
Two cucumbers, for example, fit perfectly into a small bed. Heat-loving crops will develop much faster if the root system is in such a heating system.
