I am considering leaving some or all of my garden allotment fallow next year, to give the soil and myself a rest and maybe do a bit more traveling.
Any suggestions for a green manure to cover it from this Autumn for a year or so?

Hi Felix - following on from your suggestion, looking on-line it seems that White Clover would be best for me as the Red one seems to be more susceptible to root rots - can be a bit of a problem in wet Wales! Live near a Town and Country store so am going to see whether they have any./

Ok - Town and Country have now become Wynnstay and didn't have any green manures! So looks like it has to be online.

Hi Collins! Have a look on Hydra Bio Compost, it is a biological compost accelerator. It introduces Oxygen Agents, Fungi and Bacteria to condition the soil.
