Hi, I had a great crop from my autumn planted aquadulce broad beans.

They have now gone over and have black spot or the equivalent. Can I compost the stems or should they be destroyed?

Can I cut the stems, add compost and plant over the top to make use of the soil channels created by the rotting roots or do they need to be dug up and destroyed?

Many thanks for your help!
