Here's the heat mat I use - amzn.to/3IRWsgd
you had me in stitches when that bag of manure burst, monty............................brian
That's really cool. I've never seen a hot bed done on that scale.
Great video!
I just built my 1st hotbed! Hopefully, I'll get to plant within a week or so!
Fantastic. Adding this to my greenhouse wishlist!
I love your low budget,max effective ways😇🙏
Love it when you get into the science-cy and the historical bits about gardening… the carbon/nitrogen ratio & the pineapple 🍍 growing fun fact! Also, so good to see your kids hanging out with you in the background passively learning…
Great vid Mothin. I really need to a go at this one day (think i say that every year)!
I don't want to spend any money unless I have to, my mantra
Stingy
So interesting to see the difference between your hotbeds and the ones built by Charles Dowding in his video this weekend.
Are they much different?
@@MyFamilyGarden Not that much different in theory but his is a lot larger. It's worth watching the RUclips video to compare. It takes many wheelbarrows full of manure to fill his greenhouse hotbed.
I've just seen his video, it's the first time I've seen him do one indoors. His greenhouse is a lot bigger which gives him more space to play with.
I find the heat will last from this for at least 6 weeks, and if I keep topping it up I can extend that for even longer
This hotbed is great!
That’s a great idea!
Another great vid - thank you, your back garden looks like a really good size, when you do another video tour can you let us all know your garden size please.
Smart!
If you run some pvc pipes through your hotbed and into your house, you can get free warm air in winter to reduce to heating bills too. A wee solar powered fan to push the air around will run your system for free.
got my peas planted 👍 but digging and moving all that soil around took it out of me, potatoes next week I hope (we have above 10 C daytime here in Germany),do me a favour ,when you're using your chain saw ,wear some eye protection, happy gardening to all, Spring is on its way!
i started out with ear defenders and goggles but the kids took them from me
Perfect :)
Have you tried placing some large stones throughout the depth of the hotbed? I imagine they could help retain some of the heat the pile is generating, and then distribute it during the cool nights.
I love the greenhouse is that a self build?
Yes, made from the old roof timbers from my house
Great hot composter, soon heat up your pile, would it be a good idea to stand on the compost to compress it that way u would get more in to the pile at the start?
I'm not sure to be honest, the only thing i can think of is it would get rid of too much air from the pile
@@MyFamilyGarden yea there is that
Ramadan kareem!
haha this guy has the best intro
He's a gardening magician
💩Just the other day I was watching Charles Dowding do his hotbed! Do you get a regular supply of manure from the donkey sanctuary? To fill it up as it sinks, I mean. I’ve recently started walking my plants out to the Greenhouse every day as and when it warms up enough, and then back indoors again when it cools down too much. It’s a right palaver! But it’s what we do!
I'm going to bring out a couple of tomatoes today just to see how they get on.
We can get manure regularly I just need the time to go get it.
I'll start doing some plant walking nest month lol
tufty yep that is what the wife and I are doing with the tomatoes and cucumbers every morning,a few hours out there with the cooler air then back inside ,a real palaver,but spring is here,let's hope for a warm summer but not too dry
What materials are required to create a hotbed other than manure with straws?
I’ve just built a green house say 6 by 10 foot ! I stumbled across the video for ginger , but gone onto hotbed for winter planning! I guess you re use the manure after winter on the outside plants or have you ever kept it going through out the summer ?
Great video about your hot bed Monty, what will you plant into it once it's broken down a little bit? I had a delivery of horse manure that's in one of my compost heaps and I was debating whether to grow squashes or courgettes in it in the summer but I was not sure whether the manure would burn the roots or not? Lovely job on your hot bin 😊
I love this idea! I wish I had a greenhouse. In the midlands. Would this hotbed idea still be useful if I made it for outdoor use - for tomatoes perhaps?
Yes absolutely, the victorians used to have them outside
I live in Leeds and want some manure. Which donkey sanctuary did you go to if you don’t mind me asking?
Back lane stables, Hope pastures, the donkey sanctuary
