Biological waste as a source of low-temperature heat for hotbeds

BRANCHES was a H2020 “Coordination Support Action” project, that brought together 12 partners from 5 different countries. The overall objective of BRANCHES was to foster knowledge transfer and innovation in rural areas (agriculture and forestry), enhancing the viability and competitiveness of biomass, supply chains and promoting innovative technologies, rural bioeconomy solutions and sustainable agricultural and forest management. This Practice Abstract proposes a low-cost hotbed for vegetable production. In the installation, 70 kg of biological waste was composted inside the hotbed, generating 98.7 MJ of heat over 41 days. Heat generation inside the hotbed accelerated radish yields by 5 days relative to the cold frame and by 12 days relative to the garden treatment.
