Cover Heating Cables with Soil and Remove Bamboo Stakes
Now that everything is in place what I do is carefully cover the cables with soil to ensure they are in the exact placement I put them in. Once they are covered I simply remove the bamboo stakes and fill in the remaining soil. After this I install my cold frames and run extension cords to power everything. I try and do this ahead of planting time to try and warm up the soil to active microbes and get insects to hatch (such as corn seed maggots) to reduce the change of them impacting the soon to be planted seedlings.
