Cold Frames and Hotbeds in Early Forcing Techniques
Cold frames share construction with hotbeds but use solar heat through glass and protect seeds from night cold. Hotbeds rely on fermenting manure for warmth, require daily attention and watering, while cold frames often use cotton cloth coverings and suit early forcing in the south. Radishes grow easily under glass, and forcing lettuce in hotbeds or cold frames pays if a local market exists. The Rural New Yorker notes corn varieties tested last season with similar results to past years.
