🍂🌱 Autumn is the season of preparation — the moment to get your allotment ready before winter truly settles in. In this episode, we walk through all the essential jobs you should complete now so your plot stays protected, productive, and healthy through the colder months. We’ll cover clearing out tired summer crops, topping up mulch, improving the soil with compost, pruning soft fruit bushes, tidying raised beds, checking drainage, repairing structures, and preparing your polytunnel or greenhouse for frost. You’ll also hear tips for wildlife-friendly winter care, last-minute planting opportunities, and how small autumn jobs can save massive amounts of time in spring. Autumn prep is all about creating calm before winter — and setting yourself up for a stronger, easier growing season next year. What autumn jobs have YOU finished so far?
