   Saturday Spotlight: July To‑Dos on the Allotment

   Get stuck into your Saturday allotment chores with a clear plan: weeding pathways to give your crops room to breathe, mulching beds to conserve moisture in the July sun, harvesting early ripeners like broad beans and radishes, and sowing late-season salads for a continuous supply. Don’t forget to top up your compost heap, check netting for pests, and give thirsty plants a deep soak before the weekend heat hits. #JulyAllotmentJobs #SaturdayChores #Weeding #Mulching #HarvestTime #SuccessionSowing #PestControl #Composting #PlotMaintenance #SummerGardening #AllotmentLife #GreenThumbChores Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gardening-with-ben-garden-and-allotment-tips-and-advice-podcast--5150692/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gardening-with-ben-garden-and-allotment-tips-and-advice-podcast--5150692/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss).
