Overwinter an allotment - green manure?
In a couple of months we are off on a 'world tour' until next spring so we
won't be able to do anything to the allotment over autumn/winter/spring.
It would be nice to find a strategy which made the best of this fallow
period.
I presume the alternative is to spray with a weed killer after we have
lifted everything then hope that the plot doesn't get too rampant over
winter.
I have seen several mentions of 'green manure' which sounds like a good
idea.
Are there any recommendations for something which can be planted late
September/early October which will cover the plot without encroaching on our
neighbours and can be dug in after Easter next year?
TIA
