23 barrows of manure later....

....and I'm almost done!

I turned over all the vacant patches of the plot, leaving the soil in large clumps so that the rain and frosts will break them up.

I then spread a thick layer of well-rotted manure over the soil for the worms to drag under. I used about one wheel barrow full per square meter, perhaps slightly more. This might sound like a lot, but I wanted to ensure that I had a good humus rich soil for next year.

The only job left to do is to cut back the Runner Beans, digging their roots into the soil, as it makes an excellent Nitrogen rich fertiliser.
