Seasonal Care Guide
Maintenance is the heartbeat of a successful allotment. Follow our curated checklist to keep your soil resilient and your crops thriving through every season.
Soil Restoration
Aerate the ground and integrate organic mulch to rebuild nutrients. Focus on beds that have just been cleared to prepare for the next cycle.
Structural Pruning
Remove dead or diseased wood to encourage airflow. Keep tools sharp and sanitized to prevent the spread of agrarian fungi.
Hydration Management
Monitor rainfall levels. Switch to deep-root watering during dry spells to ensure moisture reaches the sub-soil level where it is most needed.
