Digging can continue, when weather allows. Particularly with clay soils, digging when the soil is wet and sticky can do more harm than good. It's also more hard work.
As with October and November, as ground becomes vacant, you can dig it over and spread manure over the surface. Leave the soil roughly dug in large clumps and the worms will break these up as they get the manure. The freezing and thawing of water in the soil will cause the soil to break up finely so becoming easier to handle in the spring.
Winter is a good time to undertake double digging, incorporating manure into the bottom of the trench and deepening your topsoil. Stake any young trees and tall brassicas to prevent wind rock damaging them by loosening the soil around their roots.
Ensure compost bins are covered to prevent excess rain leaching the nutrients and to keep some of the heat of decomposition in.
Try and keep things tidy to avoid providing winter homes for pests waiting for the spring!
