The purpose of creating a manure bed on a plot is to warm up the soil in the bed or to create a heated greenhouse.

How to properly prepare such a bed was explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

To do this, you will need to lay the manure on the soil in a loose manner so that it contains a lot of oxygen.

After this, it is necessary to make deep holes into which a large amount of soil is placed.

Heating the manure helps the soil warm up quickly, and as a result, in about a week you can start planting plants in the garden bed.

To make the “structure” even more effective, you can install a greenhouse over the bed, covering the arches with covering material and film.

Cucumbers and other melons are often grown in such manure beds to obtain an early harvest.

You can start “building” such a bed while there is still snow in the garden, but it is already beginning to melt.
