Hi all
       I have just cleared my broad beans and I have a lot of shredded material including cabbage leaves
       and other waste material. My question is as I am about to dig a patch could I dig the material in
       or should I rot it down.

Are you intending to plant something after you've dug the patch over?

[brianc]

No it is a new area I can now dig for next season.

You can dig it in, or if it's easier dig it over and leave the shreddings on the top for the worms to take in.
