My condolences to you too, can take a long time to recover from a trauma so be kind to yourself, covering as much as you can & rolling it back as & when you can deal with it is a really good way of dealing with it while you get back to the energetic you. If you can cover with thick brown,not glossy cardboard , and any composted mulch you can get your hands on, then cover with membrane your plot will be working for you too & then when you can it’ll be good to go. As for compost try asking your friends,family & neighbours for their compostable waste to add to your binsto give you plenty for next year. Look up the Berkeley method of compost, it recommends that you can have it ready in 18 days. I think that is a bit too intensive but it would perhaps help you to speed things up a bit. Whatever you do take care of yourself & your plot can be your salvation 😊
