It’s October and it’s time to drop the crop. After a summer
with an allotment full of bees of all shapes and sizes it’s now time to cut
back what we have had growing as a cover crop which was mostly buckwheat and
phacelia and to lay it down over our beds ready to give the soil some
protection from the winter to come, also this will give all the soil microbes
and worms lots of food for the winter. We also have a load of strawberry plants
that have been growing at home in pots that are needing to be moved, they are
well rooted so hopefully they will be happy in their new home. As you will see after the drop things are
looking very different...
