Hello Lucy,
Believe we are into regional "dialects" here a bit. The frames I build for my
partner JoAn has Styrofoam insulation board along the sides and down into the
soil. She also has old window frames to place over the top, or use remay. That
would be more along the traditional concept of "cold frame" I see in articles.
Seed bed, to me here, would be seeding directly into the soil, a frame and
cover. Such as the farmers do for growing tobacco plants. I do not sow my seeds
into the soil, but into pots and I can cover with remay if I need to.
