Work you could do in Autumn on your plot

leckwithdroves
There are many things you can do on your allotment in autumn, including: 
 
Planting

You can plant vegetables that can withstand cooler temperatures, such as kale, spinach, Swiss chard, carrots, beets, and turnips. You can also plant garlic in autumn to give it a head start before winter. If you want to plant bulbs, you can plant daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses before the end of September, and tulips in October and November. 

Improving soil

You can sow green manure seeds on empty beds to cover the soil over winter and add nitrogen back into the soil. You can also spread a 5 cm layer of well-rotted manure on top of the soil.

Weeding

You can keep on top of weeding as the beds are exposed to light when crops are cut back. 

Composting

You can sort out your composting area and add prime fodder to your pile. You can also use an empty bed to rot down a pile of horse manure for use next year. 

Taking down frames

You can take down pea and bean wigwams and frames. 

Planting a hedge

You can try planting a native bare root hedge on your allotment for wildlife. 

Avoiding compacting soil

You can stay off the soil when the ground is wet and walk on broad flat planks if you need access.
