Morning all,
Recently I acquired lots of wood which I am using to make raised beds.
I also have around 4-5 of those plastic corrugated roofing sheets (which need a bit of a clean to allow more light to come in).
I will also be getting a huge load of horse manure.
So I am thinking of doing this:
Make the raised beds, put some stakes on the inside/outside, put in the manure, put in some trays of seeds i have sown on top of the manure/just above and put the corrugated plastic on top of the raised bed and weigh down.
I hope this will generate heat for what ever I am going to sow in the seed trays, whilst eventually provide some nice organic material to use in 6 months within the raised bed.
Will the raised bed need to be X deep by X wide to be sufficient when filled with manure to generate some heat?
Thanks for your advice,
Samuel
