This year I have dug in some phacelia green manure and then spread some cow manure (stacked for six months)on top.I have not turned it in as one of my allotment colleagues suggested that the worms will pull it in over the winter,and I will just need to lightly fork it over in March.My allotment has basically sandy soil.
