Do you 'refresh' your garden every year?

As the growing season comes to an end for me, I am starting to think about next year.

Some folks that I know have a routine to prepare their garden beds for the next year. Some folks may add amendments while others may not do much of anything!

What do you do to your growing spaces to get ready for the next year?

At the end of the growing season, I will pull my trellises and tomato cages in order to put them in a protected place so they don't get wear from the winter season.

I generally leave exposed stalks of plants up overwinter unless they are in a bad spot (stuck in a trellis). If I have to trim them, I will leave the roots in the ground to break down over winter.

I like to add organic matter that is not composted (fallen leaves) before the winter season and then add finished compost in the spring if I'm going to amend the soil. I'll also add biochar in the spring if I have it available.

I let my chickens into my garden between the first frost of the year and the first snow cover so they can cleanup leftover veggies and hopefully leave some manure in its place. I've been getting a lot of volunteer tomatoes previously so hopefully they put a dent into my never-ending cherry tomatoes that keep popping up.

I believe it is good to clean up the old plants and put them into the compost pile.

As Timothy suggests, tomato cages would be good stored in a good location.

If there are no plans for a fall garden then bare soil would be good to cover with a mulch or leaves.

In the spring when the garden is refreshed folks can just plant directly into the mulch.

If there is finished compost then the soil could also be refreshed with that.

I have a simple process which seems to have evolved for my simple farming area - As I clear the season's crop out of the beds I use bracken and seaweed to mulch it thickly. I've already put bracken on one of my four beds, and started on the 'grains' bed. I'm yet to harvest the roots or potatoes....The other thing I've started doing is adding the charcoal out of my wood stove to half of the bed which will be 'grains' next year. The idea is that I will gradually add the charcoal just to one side to see if there is a difference side to side after a few years. I may just start adding all the ash though - my soil is acidic, so will benefit from the alkalinity of the ash, but it is bulkier to carry down the hill. I mainly add the ash to the 'legumes' bed during the growing season (having separated out the char) as I read somewhere that they would benefit most from the Potassium.
The over winter mulch hopefully insulates the soil from the worst of the weather, prevents some leaching of nutrients from the rain and breaks down to feed the top layer of soil by the time spring comes round again. I hope to have a little home made compost to add to the beds a few weeks before seed sowing in spring too.

In theory, I lay out straw bales over weeds I want to occult. Then I can bust them up and use as mulch in the spring or plant right into the bale. But often enough, snow comes before I get all that stuff done and then I just hunker down for six months.

I'm at the end of winter and prepping for spring planting, I have maybe 2 weeks where the beds can rest (it is rainy during this period, no point planting).
I rip out the old stuff and throw rabbit cage waste on the beds. Cover with mulch, maybe. Next week I'll pull back the mulch and maybe dig in the rabbit manure (maybe not, depends how much has already been incorporated. then plant seeds and we're off.

Deep leaf mulch, followed with urine every now and then.
Dried peas strewn about.
I'm looking for some cheap fava beans  to sow.

I normally do this in November. I add used straw to the raised beds, add manure, and let the winter and spring rains do their thing.   In the spring I add compost from the compost piles.
