The ancient method of growing vegetables in hot beds, used by the Victorians and by the Romans, harnesses the natural process of decay to cultivate out-of-season crops. Jack First has revived and modernised this remarkable technique, and produces healthy vegetables at least two months earlier than conventionally grown crops.

Jack First is an experienced horticulturalist who has pioneered, developed and fully tested the methods covered in his book Hot Beds. His hot beds have been featured on BBC TV's Gardeners' World. Before retirement, Jack worked with volunteers on a large plot in Keighley and was the sole supplier to his local wholefood shop of out-of-season greens, new potatoes and salads.
