Reply To: Hot bed/compost bin

[Bladesy]

I am also looking to start a hot bed in the poly tunnel early next year for propagation. I have access to lots of goat,pig and alpaca manure and I was also hoping to grow some early crops by topping the beds with topsoil/compost. What are the best crops to grow with this method? I have read that a ratio of 3:1 manure depth to top soil is advised for optimal temperature but would welcome any advice
